Street challenges..
How often does someone pull up next to you in traffic trying to taunt you into a race? Surprisingly, it doesn't happen to me very often. I get lots of thumbs up and nice comments but not many challenges. I think I've had more diesel trucks try to run than anything else. lol.
I've been hoping to come across a Camaro SS, but most of the Camaros I see are V6's.

I have yet to have anyone try to run me in the 5.0. happened in the mach from time to time. pretty funny to watch how fast they throw on the brakes and turn once I show them why I'm not going to race

LOL! Yeah, I could see how that could change a persons mind. I'd just give you the finger and take off claiming the win!

Only had 1 run in the car so far. Not to say I haven't hoped for more.
My car looks like a v6 with no spoiler and no springs. Other than the exhaust and the 5.0 badge noone seems to notice me.

I have it happen a lot in both my camaro and the mustang, although most people want me to rev or burn out in the mustang.

I get it every once in a while but it's always the same asshole in a 5.0, but he enjoys the light show so I do it anyways.

I've had a couple. One back in August when Nic and I were on our way home from Cars and Coffee. Some tard in a V6 Gen 5 Camaro...I embarrassed him in front of his girlfriend. The only other time was a Tahoe on 22s with an exhaust...I didn't feel like playing because I about to exit to meet up with Ryan.
I think most people actually respect these cars and know what they are capable of...

I've only had a couple runs. One with a friend of mine and one with a ZL1. Only the ZL1 instigated the race. In my STi, everyone and their mom would rev at me wanting to race.

I've been thinking the same thing. I've been wanting to race a vette for a good while now, but NONE of them will ever race. A few days after I bought my car, I raced an 04 cobra on the highway and put a couple of cars on him. Last weekend, I raced an STI on the highway and put a couple of buses on him. Other than that, no ones down...

You should've shown him your badge through the window. I would've loved to have seen his face after that!

Only a few random cars in the 5.0 but it seems like they always want to run in traffic. I had one clean run on the hwy with a 2V GT. He kept trying to honk it off but his car was so loud I couldn't tell. So I just told him to go he got out a car or so. I caught and pulled him pretty quick. He was cool about it he looked suprised.
Every car Ive had or driven with a big cam gets everyone in the world wanting to race. From mini vans to welding trucks lol.
