Do any of you guys ever get fed up with the ricer fly by? I was sitting at a stop light the other day and this Honda Del Sol was busting his azz to pass me. I said self nothing to worry about and he ain't worth it. Well the second time he did it I coulnt resist. We were hedding into a 55mph zone from a 35 mph zone. This time as he tried the fly-by I kicked in the twin turbos and let he see what he was up against...until we hit the legal speed limit. He got the hint and backed off. Not sure what those guys are trying to prove.

It's not only just the ricers that do that...SUV's, minivans, trucks, etc. Every person that wants to tell their friends "look at me, I passed a Corvette"

It's annoying, but I've learned to either laugh at them or just ignore them.

I agree 100%. Mimi-vans 4 wheel drive jacked up pick-ups, you name it, they all seem bent on passing me, or being first away at a light. I simply ignore them.
