Like anything thats new, you attract attention. Last year I was passed on the left by a Boxster doing at least 90...he suddenly braked, cut in front of me, let me pass him on his left, then sped up to pass me on the left again thus circling me. I guess it gave him a thrill but with all the traffic it wasn't the smartest move.

it's like they all think they are badasses to pass a Camaro or something.

I mostly ignore them, especially the ones I know I could blow the doors off of.

Anyone else notice this?

Everyday!

+1 to this...

And I'm used to that to be honest.. I expect it.

So, it was weird when I actually noticed an INCREASE in a**holios driving around me.

Or maybe I'm just more paranoid about someone running into my new ride.

Maybe.. but maybe I'm just paranoid about them because I just got my Camaro last week.

I drive my Saturn everybody is in a hurry, I take the Camaro out and all of a sudden nobody knows how to go over 20 mph!

it's hard to comprehend why the people that want to race against fast cars, are the ones who don't have a fast car.

You must understand the ricer mentality. To them, they win if they ever pass you. Period. Doesn't matter if you slow down due to traffic, road conditions, speed limits, or you weren't even racing in the first place. If they pass you, they got a kill they can brag about.

I've just come to accept that people will do strange things in traffic as a reaction to my Camaro. What I find really weird is when I see some of the same things and realize I'm not driving the Camaro that day.

I that'd happen to me so I could get a nice laugh.

I will say when I first got the car (one of the firsts in my area) a couple guys in a cobalt kind of drove around my car like that checking it out....but they ended up staying behind me

Idk what's up with people!

I had 2 guys with muscle shirts and tatoos in an 08-10 non hemi Challenger come up beside me and the passenger ask me if I thought I could beat his car. I said I don't know. What do you drive? He look confused and said this is my car. I just started laughing, rolled my window up and drove on. I don't think they have a clue about what was so funny.
