Why is it,when I drive somewhere I have some idiot driving next to me and wants too race me. That is almost every day!!! Is it because I'm in a Camaro.
You guys have the same problem?!?!?

CamaroFemme · 06-20-2012, 08:47 PM

Sir Nuke · 06-20-2012, 08:48 PM

Nope, never. Then again I don't drive a Movie car.

DPerry · 06-20-2012, 08:50 PM

Happens to me at least twice a day

Valentino9111 · 06-20-2012, 08:52 PM

I don't mind either, I actually think its funny. I had a guy in a old Chrysler minivan challenge me tonight!!!

daveagogo1 · 06-20-2012, 08:53 PM

Never ever happens to me but, see if you can spot maybe why they think twice..

OHIOSS · 06-20-2012, 08:54 PM

Where do you guys live that you have so many people that want to race you? This topic has been posted over and over and it's the same story that you can't drive anywhere without being tempted to race. I've had my SS since 6/2009 and I can't count on 1 hand the amount of times I've been challenged to race. One was against the 3 wheeled motorcycle from Polaris, one Mustang GT, and one ricer car. By the way....I won all 3 but the 3 wheeled motorcyle was tough to beat.

Anyway....I live in northern Ohio and we must not have many racing nuts.

Steve McQueen? Bullet? Not exact, but close enough. One of the best chase scenes ever...

I also have people "challenge" me. They usually are in piece of shit minivans/SUV's which have more rust then clear coat. This happens to me at least 2-3 times a week, I usually smile and look away, or pretend I don't notice them..

I wonder how many posts there would be if they combined the 274828 threads of this. There's a new one every day.
