Default How to acknowledge fellow F-body's

I'm sure you have all seen bikers pass one another and hold their hands down low as they pass. That's cool how they all act like kin when they're on the road. Is there any "code of conduct" amongst F-body guys that I should follow when I pass another F-body?

Place hand behind back of head to simulate a mullet. Then flap hand around while still attached to back of head to simulate mullet flapping in the wind. This also works at weddings, carshows, etc.... Anytime that a makeshift mullet is necessary.

I always have my right hand on the shifter and left hand on the wheel.

What I do is raise the left fingers (wave) and give them about a 3000-3500 RPM rev. I do this for all Fourth gens (LT1 or LS1), SN95 GT, and 'Vettes.

I'll usually try to initiate a friendly display of speed if I can get alongside. F-bodys are never stock around here...

Around here, a rev seems to be the thing to do. A few weeks ago, I got one from a '79 TA.
