Does this happen to you?
I seem to get tailgated exclusively by non-mustang Ford drivers and Honda folks. Not sure what the folks at Honda have against us. ...
 Haven't got into any problems with mustang drivers so far Yesterday I went crusing, this ford crossever was tailgating me hard for miles on. I was driving at speed limit since the cars in front of me weren't speeding up. We got into two lane streets, I slowed down to the let guy move to the empty lane to the right of us but he would not get off me and kept tailgating me for another two miles before he finally turned away.  He was also braking lightly until I came to a stop at the light he would slam the brakes and skid right or left lol Do you guys have experiences like this?

Maybe I'm confused (it's still morning!), but isn't the right lane the one that should be slowed down and the left lane is the one for passing?

I used to drive a Yukon Denali and was rarely tailgated. Now, driving the same speed in my Camaro everywhere I go, I get people tailgating. People must assume because it's fast that I should always be driving fast.
They never seem to be able to tailgate down the on ramp though.

Since the wider tires and quad tips, no one gets near me. Its an aggressive stance, + the exhaust note, they don't want anything to do with me. If I'm cruising, they go around me. When I was more the stock look, yes... constant tailgating. Now people leave me be, and that's probably a good idea...

I do get tailed sometimes but I usually have a little fun when coming to a red light or stop sign. Instead of jamming my brakes like most would like to do I just coast and down shift at certain rpms. Usually at 30-35 I'll drop it to second so they can hear and smell those fumes behind them. After that they don't tail that much. Lol

I love freeway on ramps when they try that!
Constantly happens with me. The other one is when they try to race by you to the next stoplight. I usually just blip the throttle while downshifting which causes a backfire (stock ZL1 exhaust) when they follow too close.

Lol....I need to get a camera and mount it in the back to show you guys how often I got people on my tail. Most commonly from Ford drivers , after them Honda. Other than that I don't get trouble but notice people going faster than usual behind me.
