I could have stayed at 65 and missed the next 2-3 exits while this guy ogled my car and tried to race. I had no interest in racing, just going about my business.

I was at the 100+ for no more than a few seconds, and I brought it back down to the speed limit as soon as I passed the BMW, who as I explained in my original post had accelerated to match my speed twice already earlier.

Did I deserve a ticket for speeding? Sure. Was I weaving in and out of traffic at 100+? No.

My comments that you posted were also regarding doing burnoffs on public roads (as opposed to parking lots), where you lose traction, can EASILY lose control and hit other cars.

Bro....

I understand the situation too well... I've been there as well, just had to toss that out there... It amazes me how goofy people get when they see these and other muscle cars... I think it's worse for us Camaro owners right now as the cars are still so new... I had the exact same thing happen to me a week or so back while my wife was in the car... I accelerated to pass, turd bucket did the same, I slowed down, so did he, so I hammered it just long enough for him to do the same and then jumped on the binders as he flew past me I pulled in behind him and took the exit I needed... My wife was like WTF... I explaind that even knuckleheads in old beater pick-ups need to prove their virility... I just wish they would pick on other vehicles...

Glad you didn't get a ticket... keep the rubber side down and the pointy end forward... Later Bro..

I went 155 through a school zone while kinder kids were walking out. I dodged them all. I know how to handle!

On a more serious note, BMW = lol. SS = beast.

Nuff said.

Not sure. Was a nicer one, could have been an M3 or M5.

This was posted in another thread earlier and I have found this to be very, very true (it got me thinking). I have done the same thing as the OP in similar situations, but maybe should not have.

Ya they are decent. The show is another story... watched about 3 minutes of it and that's 3 minutes I'll never get back.

To the OP: It was your lucky day for sure! The guy in the BMW probably thought you wanted to race.
