I have the same problem. I had an older gentleman in a 2004 Carrera try to get me going. He reved and I reved back louder and preceeded on to spank him by 2 full car lengths. Great way to start my weekend. But back to your topic, people, I think, are just trying to get you worked up so they can see you put on a show with your car. As a matter of fact, after my little deal with the Porsche, I ended up near the Beverly Hills area, and I ran into a group of about 12 or so Lambo's, from Diablo's to Gallardos and even 1 Murcielago LP460. I ended up in front line with a regular Murcielago. Now I became the guy we are talking about. I reved real hard, knowing damn well I did not stand a remote chance of ......................, however what I wanted was a show and a show I got. The front line next to me took of like a bat out of hell and the other 10 or so screamed behind them in a beautiful Italian symphony. Our cars are amazing, but you really have to give credit to the Italians for making a real piece of art. Long story short, most guys are just really giving you a compliment by trying to get you to give them a show in a car that they envy to have.

Seems the same way for me, and trust me the o/r x pipe + flo a/b and the steeda license plate frame don't help! Hell, today I passed a taurus on a back road (two-lane blacktop, speed limit 50, good road condition), and he got on it and stayed in my rearview mirror...we're talking 90-100 mph here...gave me a good chuckle (and no it wasn't an sho just a regular taurus)...same thing with v8 pickups, etc. Hell I had a chevy aveo tailing me yesterday in commute traffic!

This happens to all of us. I once had a guy about 55 years old in a mini van rev it and floor it when the light turned green. He just made himself look like a *** cuz then of course i showed him up. LoL
