Challenges by kids in POS cars?

Hasnt been too long with the car but now starting to notice revving stoplight challenges by hoopties...today was a beat up v6 impala (non ss), seriously people?

No go of course, people must just want to see what it can do.

I get that sometimes, but a lot of times people just drive faster than I do in general. People are in a bigger hurry than I am, so they speed around me.

Yup. Every now and again I'll throw them a bone, but most of the time I just smile and shake my head.

There are only two options in life. Fight or flight. Most people run. Almost all people run. But not us. The difference between us and everyone else is that we run towards the gunfire. And that makes all the difference.

The only people that do that are people that think they have something to prove. Us Camaro owners have nothing to prove...we know what we have and there is no point to even embarrass them further.

when people do that to me, i hit the throttle a bit, so they think I'll race them, and I just make it head to head, just so they feel good about themselves :P
and when they start laughing thinking that they can beat a camaro, I just drop a gear and floor, and they stop laughing and just look at me, and I go back and say stop it :P
I once pulled over a minivan doing almost 100 in a 55 with houses near by... and I'm not a cop :P just told him to pull over and screamed at him :P

I've had people in V6 Camaro's try to race me, old GT's, I just laugh at the stupidity, you can tell when a GT has been modded around here though, cause a lot of the time they don't only turbo them they also make them look gaudy..... The V6er's always make me there is a guy I know with a supercharged V6 Mustang though, sounds like a murdered 370Z, no V6 I've heard sounds a good as it....

I always get guys in diesel trucks take off trying to race. I must admit. I hate the black smoke so I stay ahead.

People drive by the house and rev their engine all the time. From 4 bangers to other V8s. It's pretty funny.

We do that to all kinds of people, mostly to cars with huge rims that look like they have lifts on their cars, and any car with a spoiler thats as tall as the roof of the car.

Yep. All the time. I had some dork in a shitty Escort revving at me. I think he was just doing it so I would do it back and he could hear it. I did have some dork I work with with a pos 95 or 96 GT 5.0 ask me to run him for pinks. I ended up burning him on the interstate on the way home. Usually if someone revs I'll rev back and if they want to race I'll show them what I got and burn them just for a few seconds.

I get it a lot. Usually by middle aged men but no one is worth the gas or the sizeable ticket street racing could yield. My car has nothing to prove. Shes a bad ass and everyone knows it.
