I run into this all the time myself. I don't know what it is. I try to ignore it most of the time, however, sometimes it gets a little dicey when they tailgate me. I have almost had some people go right up my rear when traffic slowed down. Lucky for me I always leave plenty of space in front of me so I have somewhere to go.

Had a WRX pass me on I64 in Huntington the other day(casual pass, not trying to race me). I could here that ridiculous noise long after he made the pass. Don't know how he could stand to be in the car with that noise.

Haven't really had anone challenge the vette. Had a few challenge the 3000GT. I used to have a 94 Z28 that really seemed to bring on the challenges for some reason.

And these stoplight fools who "race" a Vette that is just cruising are why he thinks that.
