Default Anyone else have family cars constantly try and race them?

Almost every time I'm out in the Z06, I have cars like Altimas, Impalas, Malibus, Maximas, ect try and race me. At first it was funny, but now it's getting annoying, because they get really aggressive about it. For instance, yesterday some guy in an Altima was weaving in and out of city traffic trying to get me to race. He was being so stupid about it, he ran a red light at a 4-way intersection and almost caused a HUGE accident.

Do they seriously think their cars are fast? What the hell is going on through their minds? Has anyone else experienced this, or am I the only one?

Run what you brung


Honestly though, I think most of those people hasseling you just want to see a Z06 open up. Can you blame them? For jackasses though, just slow it down and let them continue on with their jackassery.

I get this too. I just assume that they want to see the Vette opened up. I also get people yelling at me to do a burnout when I'm in parking lots.

One of my favorites though, since I live in Colorado, is the guys with the Ram Hemi. Yes, they make nice power. No, your 140,000lb truck is not going to be quick.

The Porsche scares most things off that i would run into daily. Most old people give me the finger, same with soccer moms, etc... I'm guessing they think the car is to loud? That or they think I am a ****... Never got to ask anyone.

There's always cool **** down to run on the freeways, all the trucks and stuff we run into aren't slow. My duramax with a chip would walk on my friends 420hp ss for sure because he can't drive. A guy at work has a 310 tune 09 f250 and he raped a pullied cobra in it.

Those diesels don't **** around, my duramax **** all over cars. Not z06 fast but would outrun a new SS for sure.
