RE: what is it with this car???
I don't get revved at hardly at all. If I do, it's usually stock Hondas with fart can exhausts. I have hada couple 350Z's have a go and a Mercedes SLK280, even a Z28 SS. Beat them all...but still wish it would happen more often lol!

I've only had mine 3 weeks and it happens at least once per day. Tonight for example, a honda civic that look like it had been wrecked then just painted over. Just before the light turned green, I reved it up and then took off. Every guy in that car almost got whiplash. I guess they don't think a girl can drive a GT Manual huh?

I have similar problems with people, when I first got mine in 05 I pulled up behind a earlier Gt at a stop light I may have been on the phone or something coming home from work not paying attention to him in the slightest. But when that light turned green that guy goose it and as he did that a car pulled out from the other light and the guy just about slamed into the side of him. I kinda of laughed to myself and thought what a c lown and drove off on my way. Yes these things happen just about time I drive it. Thank god for my work rig..

It's REALLY good when you've got another Mustang revving on you...
I had that happen with something that was quite obviously modded...The guy just came out of JBA Performance in San Diego, and he looks over at me and revs... I revved back, gave him the thumbs, and then shook my head, because I KNEW I'd get my butt handed to me. I think he knew it too, because he just rolled off the line to get onto the freeway, and Roooooooooooollllllllllled onto the throttle, pulling away from me in a nice powerful pull.
I've had Vettes rev on me, a guy in a Miata, and a guy in a Volkswagen GTI...I just let them go because the areas where they're trying to get me to race are known for illegal street racing, and the cops are looking for ANY excuse to impound your cars...

Had an old pos charger that was a total rust bucket rev on us going to Cinn the other day. Really was quite funny, specially when he flew by in the passing lane, only to be greeted by Ohio's finest about 1/2 mile down the road. Looks said it all when we ambled on by, waving of course!!!!

Happens to me all the time on the highaway on the way to work and then coming home.
I dont acknowledge their presence when they are next to me. I think it kinda gets them upset.
These cars are quick and will jump 60' in less than 2 seconds so you need plenty of room.

Isn't it grand.....I do beleive it is mostly that people want a show. I have a friend that loves to rev at people in his early 1990s work mini van just to "see what they have"...
