Everybody wants to race.
It seems like everybody wants to race. Even people that have no business racing like the honda civics with there mosquito exshaust pipe thats bark is worse than its bite. Hell, my grandmas 1973 512cid Cadillac could smoke most of these so called fast cars. This is usually what I get. Toyoda tundra pulls up full of teenagers. Hey man, nice vette. What year is it? Want to race? I laugh. No really man, you want to race. And I say! Your freaken kidding right? Boy you must be high on crack. You need to pull up to the light with something better than your daddy's pickup truck. Your gonna hurt that truck trying to keep up with me. To funny.

Re: Everybody wants to race.
Most of them just wanna see you run it. That said, some of them ricers get pretty quick.

Re: Everybody wants to race.
Had a guy pull up to me the other day in a Mitsubishi Eclipse GS-T convertible.... he asked "is that a real ZR-1?" Yes. "oh man
 " So we take off normaly & I hear a little wheel chirp from his car... hes pounding on it to try -n- catch up with me.... I couldnt resist, I hammered down and all I could see in my rear view mirror was him shaking his head in disbelief This was very far out of town on a 30 mile very straight, long road. It was at the last light going out of town and we were the first 2 cars at the light..... so no sermons on street racing please. I dont make a habit of this kind of play.

Re: Everybody wants to race.
Handling is good as well. My car grips real well on the turns. I assume most do as well.

Re: Everybody wants to race.
When I had my dearly departed Z, I got SO much more attention from ricers than when I drive my '07 Convertible. Why? I think it's because ricers driving Civics recognize C4 Vettes as "slow" and "crappy."
Too bad I had to educate them about the difference between a normal C4 and the mighty ZR-1. God I miss that car...
