I also remember being on the other side of the power spectrum. I would rev at much nicer cars in my younger days as well. The difference is, I had respect for what they were driving and I just wanted to see them open it up for my enjoyment. I loved racing various vehicles knowing I was going to lose, simply because it was fun anyway. I think there are still quite a few out there that are after the same thing. They may not all want to race you, some just want to hear an awesome car take off.

I felt compelled to challenge the occasional Mustang or Camaro. Of course I was placed squarely in my relative slot on the speed totem pole.

So when these guys do it, sometimes its jealousy, sometimes its admiration. There's a whole slew of reasons. Now that I'm on the other end of the HP spectrum, I feel like I know what's up and just let them handle their business. No harm, no foul.
