Does anyone else do this?

[KaBoom1701]

All the time for me. I stop at the speed limit though.

[solteroblues]

I even do it when I'm driving my wife's minivan. I don't let anyone get a jump on me!

I do pretty much the same thing most of the time. Like you, I'll stop at the speed limit or 5 or 6 over, which is the normal pace of traffic around here, but the funny thing is 9 times out of 10 the other car WILL pass me before the next light by going 20 or 30 over. I won't be baited into driving 80 in the 50 just to prove to some SUV driver that I can keep up.

Had a guy in a Dmax try racing me in town last weekend. We both pulled up side-by-side at a stoplight, but the difference was I noticed the cop we passed a half block ago while he didn't. I never really understood why someone would try to race in the middle of town on a Saturday night. I knew the guy so I tried to get his attention and tell him not to do anything stupid, but he did anyways. I talked to him later that night and he said the cop came up to his window and asked if he really thought he was going to be a Camaro and let him off with a warning.

Yeah we got a lot of em in my area that like to bully people on the road. One pulls up next to you after cutting you and everyone else off and you just get the urge to crap in their cornflakes.

You usually only need the speed limit to do it too.

I guess I'm the only one that has balls to say YES! I love taking off any chance I get to line up( someone worthly not lil ricers) with someone Ill go for it, but don't get me wrong I have my own rules too like not near really public place or too much traffic but on a two lane street n little or no traffic n u get a 5.0 or challenger pulls up next to me, it's on like donkey kong lol

I was on the highway going 65 in a 65 about to pull off on the off ramp when these crazy mofos in a 2002ish black Vette and another on a rough textured, flat blacked out 5th gen' Camaro SS were catching up real fast in my rear view mirror. Right as I pulled off they passed me doing well over 100 mph. Not very safe, but I enjoyed witnessing it.

I have the same problem!! I don't go more than 5-8 mph over the speed limit on city streets but on two lanes at a light, I do tend to get up to speed limit rather "spirited"!! Hey ! It's a Camaro after all!! I think most people expect it and enjoy seeing my car! I WON'T race any one on the streets tho, If they really want to go ahead of me by surpassing the speed limit , I'll let them, but I leave all the grannies and soccer moms in the dust when ever I can. They're probably on their cell phone anyways!! ;-)

Amen....I've never had anyone "Race" me, then again, I don't pull up to lights with engine revving and constantly looking over at the next guy.....

[ametallichick]

I recently had a Mercedes (don't know what class) try and race me last week. I'm like...? This guy's trying to get up in my Kool-Aid!

[PatS]

I am in a bone-stock 2LT, so no, I do not press the go-fast peddle. I used to in my WS6, but not any more.

[kostnkost]

It's definitely a competitive nature thing as I do the same exact thing. I wish I wasn't like that, and actually had to change the way I drive to work every morning since purchasing this car. Now I do the speed limit every morning and have people behind me flashing me to go faster on the expressway.

You can't win......

I would have gave you a two hand waved if I saw that. Lol.

I feel you!
