What's sad is when I pull next to a SS and when the light turns green they barely tap the gas and my v6 whine leaves em in the dust quarter throttle. It's like c'mon use what you paid for!

Eh, I don't race from street lights. It's dangerous and doesn't prove anything.

They probably don't know you are trying! There have a few times that from stoplights random cars (Even some SUVs) floor it and im like "Wait was this a race?"

Passing a car that has no interest in racing you or wasn't aware you were trying to race is not winning anything.

I guess I just don't get it. Is that like the city bus and a diesel Dodge pickup and the bus driver floors it and pulls out faster then says I just dusted that redneck in the big Dodge?

With me though if there is another V8 muscle/pony car at the light next to me it will end up in a conversation and/or quick run.
What about a twin turboed v6 that would leave your bolt on ss in the dust?

I'll be honest...when I pull up to another sports car I only hope it's a hot woman driving it so I can look at her and do the smile flirting thing with her.

I wasn't even trying to race, I just noticed another 5 th gen and was in an alpha moment when they barely tap the gas and everyone is going around them. Where I live people floor it when the light turns green no matter if their in a expedition or a Kia soul. Then slam on the brakes ( just causing a rear end collision) when they see a yellow light so they don't get a pesky red light camera ticket.
