first challenge

Iv owned my SS for about two months and drive her like a old women. Mostly this is due to me being 24 and not wanting to pay out the back side for insurance and tickets but also do to it being my pride and joy so id rather not risk getting it sideways and losing her (i am 24 not overly experienced driver).
So due to this i dont get many chances to open her up completely and show off. This has caused me to kinda want someone to challenge me but no one EVER does. Today though was a different story. i finally got someone reving it up at a stop light and obviously giviing me a lil bit of a challenge. I get a little smile on my face then look over and........ its a Ford F150 still put three car lengths between us (never going above the speed limit) and am still smiling.

lol! I hear you man... over here in FL ppl love their trucks and I constantly get revved at by them.. sometimes I get tired of it as there is no challenge

i'm surprised that you've only been challenged once.. maybe it's the SS badge or rumble that make them cower in fear.. I've debadged mine so it helps build others' confidence a bit, but ever since owning a Camaro I've been surprised at how many people will try to race or drive aggressively.. chargers, mustangs, imports... I thought I was gonna have my first dance with a challenger the other day, but he just wanted to flyby.. my funniest experience was actually the first time someone revved at me... i hear hard revving and I look around and i don't see anything... then I notice this guy in a minivan smiling.. he laughed and said he just wanted to hear me rev

lo thats great. and im surprised two considering every road here in Btown that i travel on is two lanes with stop lights every ten feet so there are more than enough chances. Might just be the high lvl of police here deters it.

Too bad it wasn't a F-150 Raptor, that would have been fun to hear about.

My first challenge was the VW sales manager at my in his Audi S5 with a tune and full exhaust. My second was an F-150, I think they mistook me for a V6 since I had the stock exhaust.

For some reason, I get "challenged" by every Cobra that finds me. I just shake my head and let them do something stupid.
