How often do you get "challenged" while driving
So, I've had my vette for about 2 months and was just curious as to how often cars drive up to you trying to race. I think I have only had an impala, honda, and z28 want to race me so far and I drive my vette every chance I get. I had a lot more cars trying to race me when I was in my v6 firebird. Maybe my black vette with corsa exhaust is intimidating 
. Its nice not having a bunch of cars trying to race you all the time like it was in my firebird. No mustangs have yet to come up to me trying to race either.

I'd challenge you with my stang for sure.. 
My vette is slammed on some black rims, I tend to attract alot of attention, I would normally get into a race every other time I was on my way to work.

Got challenged this evening on my way home. Two bubba's in a beat Explorer wanted to race me off the stop sign in my development where the speed limit is 25 mph. My guess from looking at them was that they raced for teeth and always lost.
Ricers and hopped up pickup trucks are what I mostly see. I think a lot just want to see what the vette will do.
Always ignore them...
