Why is it, that every Charger or Challenger driver try to race me. This morning I was on my way to work and I look in the rear view and this challenger is weaving in and out of traffic, trying his best to get up to me. Does this happen to anyone else? These guys have like small penis envy or something.

Usually I have the RT's more than anything pull up and try to race me. I just wave and let them go on down the road. No use in wasting the gas and risk on that. If it's an SRT they usually are driving like a normal person, not acting like a fool. They probably know like I do, that stuff is better left for the track.

Not the first thread on this matter.
Since the Camaro is a "sports car", I've grown to expect it. I wouldn't say it is envy, maybe they are just trying to fit in with what is presumably a 'drive fast' mindset.

Basically they think since you have a nice, fast car, you won't mind racing...

That's my take on it.

I'd like to think it's because they just HAVE to see the beauty and handsomeness of the Camaro!

I had a few '.....well............' - "guys" in a Mercedes that thought it would be cool to screw around last week when I was driving 'Mr. Bond' -

I won't fall for it - it's called Street Racing and that's how people get hurt or worse. They started blowing the horn - and I put my window down and said

"So! When are you going to get a REAL automobile? - and may I suggest you buy American?".........

.........that put them in a tizzy and off they went.

Last summer - I had the same thing happen with a Blue Mustang - after a while, we arrived at a Red Light. The guy starts revving his engine - I rolled the window down and said (as I was laughing) ".........what IS that thing? A SMURF???"

The guy got all huffy - and just then the light turned Green.......

..........and he stalled the Mustang!

.......just had to share those.........

I don't think they envy the small penis of the guy that wont even race his muscle car.

I get alot of the Audis, Subarus and BMWs who try to test me. I'm sure it's them wanting to see how they can fair against muscle.

I'll play devils advocate here...most of the time if there's road to play, I'll play. I didn't buy the car to never leave 3000 RPMs.

saintrob · 06-05-2012, 01:38 PM

I had a guy last night in a new Tacoma wanting to race me. I just laugh at these morons. A Tacoma, really?

Challengers NEVER challenge me. Thugs in Chargers sometimes. Mostly I get rice buckets with fart cans, PU trucks and minivans.

Dooley · 06-05-2012, 03:00 PM

Oh yeah Scoobi Doos and Bimmers too.

Dooley · 06-05-2012, 03:03 PM

Oh and undercover cops in Chargers quite often try to provoke me. I wonder why that is?
