People riding my ass?
Hey guys new member here! I posted an intro btw some forums are very strict about that lol. I just got my car a week ago and its a yellow 2014 RS/2SS and it seems people ride my ass everywhere I drive. Is this normal haters or is it just me going the speed limit? I get some real pos rides passing and tailgating for no reason. Just wondering if I'm the only one?

When people ride my ass........ I slow down ..way down just to piss them off more. Maybe even tap the brakes a few times. Then I flip them off.

Yep Houston sucks lol. That's why I moved to Conroe, still drivers suck and the traffic is just as bad.

Just created a similar thread to this yesterday haha, to answer your question, we all experience it. I didn't have this bad of a problem with the ls, once I upgraded to the V8 I have economy cars going out of their way to tailgate me. Literally Honda accords/civics going full throttle while I'm cruising just to annoy me or for whatever reason I don't know. Some people just get pissed that you have a SS and tailgate you hard.
Most of my problems have been with Ford, Honda and Audi drivers, RAM trucks. Going over speed limit won't help, even when 5mph over, they push 3/4 throttle on their economy cars to keep up. Slowing down helps temporarily but they go back do the same thing. It's jealousy, but when I didn't have this car I respected everyone else on the street. But we are car enthusiasts so it's different for us. |

Get a really loud and obnoxious exhaust that crackles and spits flames. Problem solved.

Yup that's Houston for ya. I usually drive in the SW area around Sugar Land. The speed limit is not enough. I rarely see anyone in the left lanes going less than 75... That's without traffic. While I do talk about the fast drivers well that really is the only way to safely navigate in a sense. Nobody is going to let you merge because their in too much of a rush than to be courteous and let a slower driver in.
Congrats on the car btw, maybe they are just trying to get a better look. I know when I drive my camaro I do pull a bit close to see if I recognize them on C5 and see what mods are done, but I guess anyone tailgating you with a 02 Toyota Echo wouldn't care! Since you are new to piloting the unique and complicated chariot known as a camaro it is a lot different than other cars to drive. Like someone said earlier you do have a different feel for cars around you. Things feel closer than they appear and if you can't see it then it's either right at you or 3 ft away. And vision is one of those things you have to be careful of. You'll see when you order a route 44 drink from the sonic drive through.
