Is it just me or does this happen to you too - Page 2 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

On 4 lane roads I just ignore them and let them go by, what is really annoying is 2 lane roads when your going the speed limit and they want to get 4ft from your rear bumper!

My wife didnt believe me either. She thought is was me being the instigator. Then one day sitting at the light i noticed a sti coming up behind me. I had seen it go by earlier it didnt sound stock...but who knows. So at the light and i look in myrearview ..he has his girlfriend. Then he starts to rev the crap out of the car. My wife looks at me confused...whats that she says. I laugh and tell her its the souped up subbie...as my 17yr old daaughter calls them thats behind us. Told ya i said. He does it one more time.....i put my car in neutral and let out a blast. Scared some people on the sidewalk lol.....i think then he understood i wasnt stock either.

It's usually guys in either big trucks that feel like they have something to prove or it's pos beat up SUVS and econo-cars who get aggressive with me for who knows what stupid reason... BMW drivers have a widespread reputation for being dicks so you can include them in the pack as well...

Who's cocky? I never engaged these guys. Also, I haven't had a Hellcat do this to me yet and they are on the streets in my area. Keeping in mind with my mods I'm a little over 700HP at the crank so I won't feel the need to cower away from them either.

I wish I had a hellcat on the side of me and a lot of open road ahead of us in my stock ZL1. I know I'd lose but I'm going to have a lot of fun doing it.

Rush hour everyone wants to try to pass so can't argue that. Other than that I haven't really had anyone do this. Had one stock Impreza today try something but once they heard my sound they never bothered to stay behind me lol. Usually the other muscle cars leave each other alone around here. Sometimes we give each other some revs while passing but no racing and the ricers know better to mess with us.

I get that from riced out Hondas.

You have to watch out for challengers and chargers because some of them are the undercover police wanting you to punch it.

I drive a v6, but I get a ton of Dodges trying to pass me. Even mix of Challengers and Chargers. V6s, V8s, even a SRT 392 Challenger that I was able to put some space between with a light curve (who abruptly caught up when it straightened out, lol)
