its because they know that your "inferior" non ws6 trans am would blow their doors off and it hurts the feelings of their inner child...

Havent seen the 4th gen WS6 since around here....just me.

Every morning I drive past a really clean SS with torque thrusts and a cowl hood...anyone around here from Rochester, NH??

If I pulled up next to a drag slick/skinny, cammed, headers car...I would try and keep up to drool over the exhaust, if I were on my bike I may put a length on you then slow down.

I remember the first wave I got after I bought my car, it was from a blue Mach 1. Shocked me, I was only used to people on bikes waving at each other.

The Torino on the other hand gets a wave from the majority of people that I go past in it lol.

Im that guy lol. My sign of respect is to rev. If an import or mustang revs on me though...they get a thumbs down. I do it for entertainment not hatred lol. I know it pisses them off when i thumbs down them.

I'll wave everytime, and it's usually accompanied with a slight rev.

Hell, I'll give the small wave to 'vette owners and camaros too. Respect.

Edit: But only the birds and camaros rockin the V8...of course.

I wave to most Ford, GM and Dodge performance cars... It is wierd tho, I have only owned my T/A for a week and i already have passed two GTO's in my area and they both were waving before i could tell what they were. When i had my GTO (for around two years) i think i only seen a total of about 8 in the area 3 of them are good friends of mine. I haven't seen anyother T/A's, i have only seen about 6 4th gen T/A's in Madison WI in the last 5 years.

The best thumbs up i have gotten was about 4 years ago when i was in my moms 70 Ford Fairlane 500 with a 400m and a lady (she must have been atleast 70) gave me a thumbs up in her old geo metro, I don't know y but it jus cracks me up thinking about it.

I've only gotten a few waves. I usually have the drivers window rolled up so I almost never wave but I will give the thumbs up if the car is nice enough. Usually it's just looks. I got a lot of looks and thumbs up when I was driving around without a Y pipe... lmao.

Usually I just do a quick flash of the fogs if I see a nice Bird in the oncoming lane. I almost never see Birds, just Camaros... Everywhere.
