Why ???
Why does my vette bring out the worst in the odd driver?
Last nite I took her out for a short cruise just before the rain hit again
Three lights in a row I line up next to a pontiac vibe (yes a vibe)and three times he takes off like a bandit when the light goes green I thought I just imagined it the first time but no.The funny thing is with my borla exhaust this guy probably went home and told the wife how he spanked some guy in a vette.

It's part of the fun, I had a young man in a Passat or is a Pissant VW wagon this past week. It was nice, lime green, lowered, tinted windows, and big muffler. He took me 3 lights in a row as well. It was a nice evening and the wife was with me and the top was down. I couldn't help but laugh, I tried to hide the laugh, but I'm sure he saw it.
It was funny.

Get used to it. Every ricer and mustang within 10 miles pops out of the woodwork every time I take the Vette out.
It's nice to know you are the top dog and the challengers feel the need to prove something. It's good to be the King.

I am convinced that a) about half of them truly think they are faster and b) the other half just want to see a corvette get on it.
I was at my dad's cabin down near Galveston Tx the other day and his neighbor walked over as I was pulling away to go to the store. He walks up and says "Can you light the tires up when you pull out"?
I always ignore redlight challenges because if no other reason (other the whole legality issue), I am always scared one of these idiots will light up his tires and slide into my car.

I think you guys need to stop resting and put the hammer down on them a few times so they will not grow up with this false belief. A whole generation of ricers and kids are growing up not respecting the vette...
