Probably, they could not care any less about you, or even notice you, rather they are just in a hurry like everyone else. Now, mopeds and such would be a different matter. In any event, either goose it or ignore it....your choice.

Slingshot...C'mon...I had a PT Cruiser, and it was a fine car until the electical system went haywire. And the poor mileage. And the screwy rear seats that only folded part way. And......

I think part of it is they don't really know what to think about a Camaro and don't realize that if I put my foot in it, they'd be history in a second.

lol

I'm more annoyed by the little weed whacker's "modded" to within an inch of exploding that come buzzing up next to you like they stand a chance. Sorry a wing bolted to your trunk does not make your car an F1 racer. Just an FN ricer.

So I usually just ignore them and watch them go buzzing away. Ooooh "fast". lol

I hear you on the SUVs...here in south Texas it's trucks that are the ones trying to race you at every light!

While I don't have my Camaro anymore...I do have my Vette and they are the exact same to it!

The other night I was driving back from a meet and for 35 miles on the highway I would swear everyone was playing "don't let the Vette pass you" game!

Was even challenged to race when I went to pass (my cruise was set by the way...so just passing a slower car!) a F150...who then decided to drop a gear and take off!

Really...an F150 and my Z06? Really?

I look at it this way...they could have bought a Camaro or a Vette...but instead they chose what they have. So don't be a &W%$@ to me about what you drive!

I don't pay any attention to them...they are the ones who look like a fool speeding on the road!

If you're doing anything less than 5 over in the fast lane, GET OUT OF THE WAY!

The fast lane is meant for passing

Ladyz28 · 11-11-2010, 10:15 AM

There are a few SUV's that you might not dust off so easily as you put your foot in it, the 2011 jeep srt8 is coming off the line with 500+ hp. The 2010 was around 420. The BMW x5 and x6 are at about 555 hp. Cayenne S, which has 385-hp ... Even higher is the Cayenne Turbo S, which squeezes 550 hp from the same engine. Now these aren't your run of the mill grocery toting soccer mom suv's, but they are out there.

2011 Grand Cherokee SRT8?!? 500+ HP???

Where do you get your info?

More like 2012 Grand Cherokee SRT8 with less than 470HP...

I think we're missing out on a key piece of information here... The OP's name!

outlaw2 · 11-11-2010, 11:04 AM

Would push the buttons on the Dodges,Stangs and Vetts with my 06 Trailblazer SS with 395hp and 400lbs tq, then along comes the "Camaro SS" ............Goodby Trailblazer,you were fun and fast but there is a New Dog in town and She's in my driveway...lmao

SuperH · 11-11-2010, 11:11 AM

I do love when I see an SUV racing ahead to exceed me, and then I take the concerted effort to race up to the speed limit, just humbling them that... they're not all that.

Sometimes, as long as you're not speeding, it's alright to get on it. Othertimes, you'll be passed by them because they want to go even faster than the speed limit, and you'll find them pulled over by Mr. Ocifer around the corner, where you can pass by and wave at them!

scythezo6 · 11-11-2010, 11:12 AM

Maybe you are driving too slow?

midnighter · 11-11-2010, 11:19 AM

I don't hate SUVs, I just disagree with the way some of their pilots fly in them.

heRS · 11-11-2010, 12:56 PM

Obviously legends in their own minds, and possibly pretending they are in their mustang racing you?
