Mostly from other mustangs...some will even make u-turns to see what's up. Think it's the hood and intercooler that attracts attention from the front. Others will just make loud noises when pulled up alongside in traffic. I drive pretty slow in traffic and get passed up by most folk on the highway.

I never get challenged. I think they pull up next to me and see the old guy and say why bother. I wouldn't anyway... I save it for the track. You just don't know what some idiot is going to do. If they screw up you are involved too. Not worth it.

I was looking at getting the C55 Mercedes, I'm not sure if it was supercharged or not though. I never really looked that much into it. I do know they have a V8 with 362ish HP at the crank and a good bit of torque. My plan was to buy one, slam it, all black with all black rims, tint, tinted tails, and a black mesh grille. What a sleeper that would be. Of course do some engine mods and what not.

My car is a magnet for freaks. I get the ricer fly-by twice a week.
If I am in the mood sometimes, I will downshift from 3rd to second and nail it. This seems to be when the car demonstrates its most potent, visible flash. Typically they don't try to hang, so I just let off, which I would probably do anyway as I certainly do not need a drag racing ticket on my record.
Sometimes I will see a really poorly done, tired 89-95 GT with the wrong tires, bad wheels, & maybe missing things whose owner thinks he is Carroll Shelby. Sometimes they want to rev and show me how loud their POS is, I just laugh, I can't help it.

out here nice cars dont exist its all honda hatch backs with 15" exhaust tips as their only mod and I dont even need to punch it to make them look dumb. If I am feeling really mean I will pull up with them after they rev and rev and let em get a taste of a 6000 rpm rev and scare em into taking off when I just roll out into the intersection and make em look dumb.

I just did a post about this a few weeks....Its so annoying that EVERYONEfeels the need to make their ***** feel bigger...(especially at 7a.m)....The funniest is when the ricers come up trying to be all badass and u just toy with them(let them feel like they are catching up then just floor it lol). I personallyhave got everything from ssr's. camaros,trailblazer(supercharged), bmws, benz, vette, trans ams.....The best one was prob the trans amLs6 onroute 295....it was neck and neck the whole time....Surprisingly when I raced the vette(female driver) it lost....bad...
