By not moving over they force the other drivers who want to go faster to make stupid moves just to get around them. If you see someone tailgating you and flashing their lights at you, why would you egg them on by staying in the lane?? How hard is it to just move over. I move over whenever I see a faster car coming up behind me so I expect the same courtesy from other drivers. It should be common knowledge but I'm afraid it just isn't.
As for racing on the street, I don't do it. Whether I'm driving in my '71 Z28, '97 Z28 or new RS I just let them go. I've seen too many accidents caused by stupid driving to bother. I don't need to prove anything to anybody.

I have had them come flying up behind me while I was passing a line of traffic.. I may be doing 5 MPH faster than the line I am passing and the dummy behind me wants to do 20 MPH faster flashing their lights and waving at me, I am not obligated to speed up or move over if I am in the act of passing already doing over the posted limit (but not overly faster), and no amount of flashing of lights are going to make me go faster, I will get over as soon as I safely get past them... then sometimes these people are so much in a hurry they will jerk their car over into the right lane and speed around before I have time to safely pull back into the right lane..
Seems like people do not know how far you should be in front of the car after you pass before safely pulling back into that lane.. lots of people think they are on a racetrack and as soon as your bumper clears theirs it is fine to jump into their lane...
