its cause they are soo awesome with their fartcan that adds 200HP and spoiler that adds 150hp so they want to prove to all their friends that they have a fast car.

LOL...these threads always make me laugh. For those that are some how offended when other cars challenge you....You do realize that you're driving a world renowned, iconic muscle car with a history and reputation for drag racing that dates back 40+ yrs...right?

If these types of encounters truly bother you...Perhaps it's time to consider the purchase of a more "subtle" mode of transportation. Just a thought.

While we're a strong group here there are many many more out there that are not. Within our group i'd gather that some would do just as mentioned in the OP, maybe just for fun. I dunno... people driving sport cars do tend to let the vehicle get the best of them sometimes.

1 1/2year ever had another Camaro try me. I have plenty of Imports that couldn't beat My SS running regular fuel and 3 cement bag in the trunk.

I think their ears DO NOT work. Thats not the sound of a V6. Go away your not worth my time, rubber or the shift.

It must be your area.

Funny enough, I had a fellow Camaro driver 'wave' at me a couple weeks ago. I usually drive with my parking/fog lights on which seems to make people think your a car guy since your purposely getting in and setting the lights every time...

Anyways, it was a V6 car coming my direction with some aftermarket halos and he flashed his halos a few time as he passed. Thought it was neat.

That"s true what you've said - Totally agree with ya. But not at every light or every other light. (referring to baiting to race) every once in while it's cool. If that's the case then change my user name to 'Lead foot". Cause I'd be on that gas pedal so f*cking hard racing these young boys !!!Also it's one thing to race someone who knows how to race, but most of these fools that want to race can barely control a car going 60-70mph. My life is way to important to be fooling with inexperience drivers trying to prove a point.

Well I live out in Yucaipa and I travel the I-10 east/west everyday. I'll wave if I see you! LOL

I thought this was just a Philly thing that no one waves back! Glad to know it's everywhere. I had a whipple installed/tuned a few weeks ago (stock exhaust for now) and decided the hell with it a few days ago after one dude in an SS next to me at a red light wouldn't roll his window down to talk, but instead douchily pointed to the light with his window up. He didn't even look in my direction after he caught up at the next light

Actually this thread got me thinking.. Can we start some sort of hand gesture representing Camaro5 for on the road?? Or is that too gay? It's kinda gay...
