It used to be. I used to get some ridiculousness pulling up along side me and I just wondered "WTF is everyone smoking today?"

That was 2010. Now I'm getting STI (sexually transmitted infections) blowing their turbos at me. The 2010 mustang GT's have calmed down and learned their place. People with 5.0s around here drive like grandma's (and they are men). People in challenger's act like the world is beneath them.

But I've noticed the more mods I get the less I get challenged.

Put headers, full exhaust, and a nice lopey cam on your car and you'll notice how people start to leave you alone.
In my stage 2 heads/cam, full bolt ons with Corsa Sport Exhaust + converter and drag radials 05 GTO, I rarely ever got challenged on the street. That car just sounded too mean.
Tru Dat.

I noticed less people want to bow up and talk mess. And the times I want them to try something, they dont.

More mods def gets you less play

Talking

Sadly, alot of kids in high school think they can drive like vin deisel just cuz they watched the movies and took drivers ed WOOHOO it takes practice and know how to drive a car and cant just learn it in a day :\

Surprisingly, I haven't got challenged by any muscle car yet, it all comes from the imports.

If some is tailgating you that means you are driving too slow

It's people and their damn 4 cylinders. Easy for them to go over 70+ and not waste as much gas as v6 especially v8's. I drive slow to try and conserve gas the prices are ridiculous now... Everyone here drives like a maniac and it bothers me, also all the college kids and their "modded" civics and eclipses always try to race me..

I wouldn't call them ricer, but as far as imports go, I get more 350z's trying to show out on me than anything. I don't much care anymore, I really don't have anything to prove....or maybe they're just not worth the gas lol.

I had some dude in a Buick Lucerne trying to race me in traffic the other day. And he had three people in the car. I just looked at him like he was stupid. Because he was. He would jump into the gas and leap the car forward and just look over to see if I was going to race. I eventually had to back off to keep the idiot from running into the back of someone. I hate stupid people.

I've not had anyone acting like a jerk while driving the Camaro. However, when I had my GTO, it was a different story. I have no clue why it was a magnet for teenage zit-faced punks, with the fart-can exhaust, wanting to race on Interstate 40.
