I usually give a nod or the peace sign while bouncing off the rev limiter.

Oh well all the better for all of us to pick up a cheap racecar later on. Since they don 't know what they have.

Only time someone actually responded to me was at like 9AM on a summer day when I was driving to work. I had my t-tops off and was chilling at this red light and a guy pulls up in a pewter Trans Am vert, scopes my car out (it grumbles at idle), then starts a conversation before the light turns.


Most of the f-bodies I see are stock and the guys in them don't seem to like my exhaust for some reason......

I look to see if the other LSx driver is going to notice then I would wave, but most never even notice.

A guy in a new Z06 waved to me first once, so I know the feeling is out there...

I used to drive a stock, black Jeep That car got more looks and waves than you could believe.
