Default s2k bring out the jerks?

Maybe it's just my imagination, but i have noticed in the few short weeks i have had my s2k that it seems to bring out the aggressiveness in some other drivers. This is something I didn't experience in my corvette nor in my altima. the s2k seems to beg some sort of weird attention, Has anyone exlse noticed this? Last night a guy kept on my tail no matter which lane I moved to. He then pulled along side and clearly wanted to race. I did not oblige hiom and then he just took off at about 75 in a 45 zone. I really didn't do anything to encouragge this sort of thing. I don't dawdle along nor do i flaunt what the s2k can do. Odd, but it has happened several times already.

I agree that the S2000 is an inherently evil car that forces you to the dark side. It makes you drive more aggressively and those around you as well. It also inspires hate and jealousy in some people. For that reason But it is damn fun to drive and looks great!!!!

Have driven my S since mid October and have had countless asses try to antagonize me into a race, it seems people are just not used to seeing our cars on the road, and think there soul purpose is for racing. I simple down shift.. slow down.... bring it up to the speed limit........ and let the son of a you know whats get the ticket.

I know what you are talking about. Especially the jack asses that get right on your ass trying to get a race out of you. I just down shift to slow down without my brake lights flashing when the idiots do that until I am a few mph under the speed limit. They usually just go around after that. F*cking ricers.

One of the reasons I'd LOVE an M5 or E55 AMG... doesn't attract riff raff who don't recognize the car... but commands respect from those who do. Maybe that's why they left your corvette alone?

But yeah, S2000 is not a good car for people who don't like attention. I can't image what kind of daily harrassing you'd get in a bright yellow Diablo!
