Getting really annoying!! - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

There are 2 things that I keep noticing happening on a regular basis. People driving crazy to catch up to you , then wanting to race. I DON"T RACE!! I have seen what happens when things go bad.

And why is it that when I come to a stop, people have to be 6 inches behind my car. I don't know if it is because I have a 6m now, but I am tempted to roll back into them if I didn't love me car so much. I am glad people like the car just let us enjoy it. Okay, I feel better now!! Thanks

If you want to own the most awesome looking car on the streets, these are things you have to get use to

LOL, I don't have mine yet (2 weeks) but when I drive my old '66 Coronet around I know exactly how you feel :(. I can't count how many near accidents I have been in from people staring at it. I don't care if you stare, but please stare with your foot on the brake

I know what you mean too. I had a 2SS/RS M6 out for a test drive on Friday and had to stop at a light on an uphill and started to get paranoid about rolling back. I ended up stalling it but once I got her started I just let her rip. Still fun to drive though!

lol... its fun to race =D Nah jk, i don't do it. My car isn't even broken in. But here is the funny thing, depending on the car, you can make them feel like nothing lol. ESPECIALLY when it comes to up hill battles (no pun intended). I have this Hill that runs up for about 1 mile near my place. When cars sprint past me on the Flat roads, I leave them be. But man oh man... the Camaro, and I'm a V6 btw, can TEAR up those hills. Especially on a lower gear. I blast right past them lol... you can hear their engines cry while climing up... their RPMs getting higher, but speed is dropping. HOWEVER! When i get my car broken in, I will be a bit faster... I'm not going to lie... I take some joy in outrunning cars that want to challenge me. Funny thing is... it's always old ladies who want to beat me @_@ Old ladies in some old sedan lol.

i am getting used to it.

MaddawgXXXL · 05-24-2010, 12:05 AM

I seem to get the people that get next to me and stare but don't realize they are coasting in to my lane until I hit the horn and give them a look. Then I get the nod like they approve of the car. I keep saying someone is gonna run me off the road because they are mesmerized. I really hope that doesn't happen!

LazyYoYo · 05-24-2010, 12:15 AM

i kindly oblige them when they think that coasting next to me is a good idea by dropping a gear and loudly leave them coasting behind me or just slow down........

That is very annoying. If they get rear ended, the domino effect begins

Mr CLuTcH · 05-24-2010, 12:47 AM

Aww, Op don't feel bad, I get that type of attention everyday! The thing is when people usually try to catch up to me I just run! LOL

I love a friendly game of "mouse and cat" , me the cat running from the mouse. Here's my old saying....if u chasea dog, it will run.

StevenMarrocco · 05-24-2010, 01:53 AM

I just got my car on baby on friday (pictures up tomorrow!) anyways, i also just learned how to drive stick, and people have been trying to race and keep up with me as well, you just helped me find out why!

2ss/ls3/simtx · 05-24-2010, 03:01 AM

Back off Tiger, you'll get use to it, it comes as a standard option with the camaro,(all models) hahaha

SKERIS · 05-24-2010, 05:04 AM
