Sleeper seems to attract most attention from wanna be racers/jerks

I had some old pos Honda rev at me on the way to a crowded intersection.
Sounded like a weed whacker passing me till he had to stop 2 car lengths later. As i passed them they just stared at me.
So many stupid people out there trying to look bad

I honestly don't understand people that own fast cars but don't want to race. I'm not talking about racing up to twice the speed limit, but I'll always race a guy up to the speed limit or ~10km/h over. Why not? Be fun or go buy an Accord.

Where to start? Never mind...just leave it as you don't understand.
Oh and some of those douchers etc.... drive mustangs. You see that when you are driving a fast stock car, other than a mustang.

What's the point? The risks are way too high, unless you're both out in a clear area with no traffic or hazzards.
We take those challenges to the track, where it is far safer, for you and everyone else.
Having a fast car doesn't mean you have something to prove, but it does require a much greater maturity to know what and what not to do with it. Not to mention the risks. If you're young, you dont get it and dont care.
I too get the occasional 'challenge', usually at highway speeds. I'll usually wave my hand or wave my index finger like 'nuh uh, you dont want any of this'. Seems honder kids are the worst, lol.
Now, someone pulling in front of you to try to block you? That's just insane! That's so stupid! Try that to a speeding 18-wheeler. (The nice thing about having all that power is you can very quickly navigate around such idiots.)

You guys with the seriously fast cars seem to be the ones that think with your heads and not your foot when on the streets. The guys who have something to prove are the ones most likely to be idiots.
It saddens me that the local Mustang club I was a member of welcomed the local import guys into the group and soon after they were posting videos on youtube of racing through town @ 140, complete with signs in the background and faces in the videos. Got banished because I called them out for being douchebags.

That makes me mad. I expect kids in mustangs around my college town to have have some sort of respect for American muscle and elegant styling...but it kills me how many of them would trade out theirs for a crappy ricer that hasnt been taken care of at all just because itll hit 60 half a second faster. NOT a part of my mustang family. Glad you told those guys off
Yep. There are plenty of idiots/douchers out there. I had a guy in a Charger try to race me on a street in an ultra pedestrian freindly area next to a running trail. I didn't take the bait (seeing as I don't wish to kill anyone). Dude was so busy looking in his rear view mirror at me he didn't see a woman walking across the road who was 3/4 the way out of his lane, barely missed her.
I'm with you, it gets so old. I like respecting other peoples cars, if I'm next to a respectable car at a red light, I comment and get comments back and then we drive off proudly. Of course a lot of people are douche bags that are just way to stuck up to even look and let their feet do the talking.

I get with those guys at times when I'm on my bike.
It's always the young idiots though, than have no clue about the interesting thing that is called "power to weight ratio". lol.
Makes it too easy.
