The OFFICIAL "Does Your Car Turn Heads?" Thread!
I absolutly love the attention I get from my car and its really nice when people pull up next to you or stop and talk to you and compliment about the car. It happens almost daily around here especially with older car guys they love it.
One thing I have noticed is that Vettes and other higher end vehicles are more willing to race or even pick a race with you. I had several 3rd gens and fox bodies in the past that many vettes wouldn't even look over at.

It's nice when attractive women stare at your car, realize you're staring back at them, and not seem to mind it 
Happened to me yesterday at the dragstrip at least three different times.

I took my car out one saturday and got SO many looks from people with fast cars. First was a guy in a 67 white camaro with black stripes. We exchanged looks from opposite directions as we passed each other.
Another was a 95ish Mustang that saw me and punched it. Had the most evil sounding exhaust i've ever heard.
Must have been cammed.Then there were a couple of other 4th gens that i exchanged glances with. Feels nice to be in the prestigious club of fast cars.

Nice thread guys.
I get alot of looks from mine, one reason it only hits the road once in a Blue moon.
-But the 10spoke chrome wheels get tons of compliments. They always shine at there best.
-Older women druel over it at local shows because its a fast red great looken vert.
-But like all of you guys, you really love it when you get the compliments. Most common question.......Whats that thing got in it???
And to think I am so tame compared to my High Octane's members cars.

one time i was on the interstate playin around a little and some guy followed me to my house, i kinda was afraid he was going to lecture me or something cause he seemed older but he followed me about 5 miles to say nice car, and he wanted to take a look. but i agree, if it wasnt for the flowmaster i wouldnt get as many rubberneckers.
My car grabs a lot of attention, but not always positive. Either the person loves it or they are appalled by the "obnoxious green". I always get pulled over because I don't have a plate on the front of my car, but in the front window and the cops look at me driving it and think that I am some young spoiled punk kid, they don't know that my dad and I built the car and I payed for everything (luckily I was able to land a good paying job as a Mechanical Engineer to cover my expensive hobby).

Iv never been so proud of myself
Yeah do you ever notice when your haulin *** down a 6-lane and some people will actually change lanes so i dont have to. Im serious people get out of my way. That never happened in my volvo (turbo bitch)! Maybe its just my imagination.

I had a red vette light em up at a light after he saw me behind him and took off. Gave him a thumbs up when he turned off, but I dont think he caught it. That was a fun day tryin to keep up with that thing.
I once made the mistake of taking my Z28 into Quick Lube or something like that...the redneck hillbilly who was my "service writer" yelled out "now that's a three-fiddy!!!" I didn't want to spoil his enthusiasm, so I just said "yep." I kept my sarcastic comments to myself and decided to never have a "quick" place change my oil.
Other than that, I have a G5 cam on a 112lsa, so it lopes pretty good through my full hooker exhaust, or even more agressive through the cutout...many heads to be turned

I forgot another one....drive throughs are the best. After you order and you pull up to the window to pay their eyes get real big and they'll actually treat you a little different sometimes, or so I've noticed.
