Street racing is dicey to life and property. Still, punks short on manhood seek out cheap thrills or boosts to their juvenile egos. The worst are drivers of a Scion tC, Subaru WRX, Ford F150 (with a loud & cheap exhaust), Jeep Cherokee Limited, Infiniti G35 or any Nissan Z-series. Just ignore `em.....

Wow, that sucks dude. I've gotten the thumbs down from a C6 Vette, but never anything that offensive. The other day someone in a Civic Si hit me up while we were at opposites sides of a stop light. The other week a I got it from a silverstone AP1 while driving my brothers Z..

I don't plan on doing any drag racing in this car. Too much wear and tear imo. It's nothing but back country roads for me

Maybe it's because you terrorize little girls.

A Crossfire took off on me when I first got my S2000, I just continued on my way home.

I would call it "marginally" faster in a straight line.
Plus most of the women I see driving them are not trying to race anyone.

I seem to have the most problem with idiots in pickup trucks.
Living in Iowa I have this problem ALL the time.

For me, it's usually older pickups trucks with some sort of cheap muffler shop glasspack hack job exhaust. If I get the feeling that anybody is trying to "race" me away from a stoplight, I make a point of accelerating lethargically through the first few years to discourage the other driver.

If you're getting flipped off and getting called a fag, you're probably doing something wrong. Are you doing ANYTHING else other than driving a CR to get such a lashing?!?

Never experienced haters on the road.
