    Default Whats your experiences with other cars on the road?

    Saw this post of gencoupe.com, thought it would be interesting to bring the post here and see whats rwdcoupe.com member's experiences were.

    Whats everyone's experiences with other people on the road. Do you get called out often? Have people come up and challenge you much?

    I've had it off and on around here, and its a mix of legit cars, ricers, and muscle cars.

    Been light to light with a ZR1 Corvette, my 3.8 holds pretty well thru about 3 gears and then the vette takes over.

    Had a couple civic si's, cobalt SS's, Eclipse GTs take swings at the car, but its amusing to watch them play catch up after they realize they bit off more than they could chew.

    A couple buddies of mine at work have a 370Z, G37S, and a BMW M3. I have the cheapest price tag of all of em, and most of time I'm the one holding my own when we go darting down 79 during lunch. Its great when they still shake their heads and go, thats a Hyundai? Really? damn...

    And finally, a Lambo is coming down the road behind me (I'm going about 80mph down the highway, he RUNS me down from about a mile back, comes up beside me and we play tag for a good couple miles. Stop at a gas station and he asks what the thing was and how much I spent on it. (Assumed it was a Bentley while driving due to the wing badges. He wanted to know how Bentley made a sports car and he was unaware to it.)

    What is everyone else's story?

    EDIT: I would like to amend, the Vette was a C06, its a buddy of my dad's and he was messing with me. Fun nonetheless. lol

    i put the m&s "M" logo on my trunk and people often assume that it is a Maserati

    I find it amusing and sometimes I go along with it haha

    its also pretty funny to see peoples reactions when they find out its a Hyundai

    I was driving through a residential-like area, and I noticed a car was driving pretty aggressively behind me, obviously trying to get beside me. Turns out to be a black Toyota Celica with 3 kids in it. The driver gives me a big thumbs up, and I return the favor. Since I'm driving an unmodified 2.0T I'm sure that I can't keep up with some of the ricers out there, so I didn't even try to race him, but it was nice to get some appreciation from a couple kids.
