To be the best you have to beat the best. They all want that chance to say they beat a corvette.It's like being toughest kid on the block. You get challenged a lot because people want to see if you are as good as your reputation.

Drifting
That's just the salient point my friend.
These guys are not astute enough to discern the differences between the various renditions of a vette. To them it's a vette and that's what matters. Now if you are implying that a base vette isn't really a vette.............. Some like myself are happy to be able to have bought a used base vette.

JDM enthusiasts calls me out from time to time wanting to see where they stand against my base 2008. Of course it's always on their terms. Maybe b/c I'm asian while driving in a vette oppose to driving JDM. I get criticize a lot by JDM fanboys but appraised by real car enthusiasts. I've come to understand that those JDM haters are jealous b/c they can't afford a V8.

I'd race you man 
always loved your car. Now that I have my own..I would definitely race you lol.
To the OP.. I guess I'm the polar opposite.. I have been chomping at the bit looking all over town trying to find a worthy opponent to race. I blew the doors off a supercharged GT and have been wanting to run across a modded C6Z or C7Z or even a heavily modded base C6.. haven't yet unfortunately
So no these people who rev up next to me. I gladly rev back and if on an empty road I'll gladly run them.

Well a lot of these post are accurate. Esp. the ones that suggest that some people may just want to see a fast car go fast....harmless. Can't understand the OP's over concern on the issue though. Ultimately you are getting the greatest form of flattery....they are noticing your car. Enjoy it and cruise on !!!!.....
Being tailgated not so much of course.

I was on a 3 lane road and pulled up to a light one time and there was a Chevy colbalt (sounded like it had a turbo), and mustang next to me. Behind me was a C7. The colbalt and mustang were reving trying to get me to join in. When the light turned green they both took off meanwhile I just took off normally. On the way to the next red light (~50ft down the road) the C7 pulled up next to me and we both just shook our heads..

Just today I was at a stop light in a 2 lane road getting onto the freeway. I got a ******* Camry next to me. I was planing on a nice little 2nd gear pull to 65. So I do..I slow to like 62 and set cruise as to not get a ticket. And the Camry just blows past me a good 15 sec later( took a long time to catch up lol) And pass me at 80 when Im just cruising. Im just like WTF. Lol

just revving your engine or accelerating brings severe consequences
Get paranoid driving mine out here. Its loud, geared low, just keeping up with traffic soundslike youre in it but youre not. Kids have no clue about this, they can just say"Your racing" and goodbye car.
Of course it's always on their terms.
