Picked up a 2014 Hemi Charger R/T Plus back in August. Since then I've noticed while driving that I'm constantly being challenged. Other drivers want to know what my stuff is made of. I'm usually happy to educate but I'd like to ask other owners: What's the best way to drive this car when being challenged? Putting it in "Sport" mode? No "Sport" mode? Or AutoStick? Would love your opinions.
By mini vans and smart cars? Who would want to waste gas on that over inflated grocery getter?
That's not a Charger. Much more a Monaco or Polara.

Put a bull-bar and a couple extra antennas on the back of it; people will leave you alone.
The best way to drive your Challenger when being challenged is by living your life a quarter mile at a time.
No really, keep that crap on the track, not on the street.
Lol...would have been darkly ironic if you'd posted a picture of the other guy from the fast and furious series that died in the car wreck....or Hulk Hogans kid (year in jail) or his friend (permanently effed -up, a quadripalegic I think...).
If you think a sports car is bad. Try getting a motorcycle that the computer limits you to 180mph. People all the time want to race me. I usually just ignore them. I think its funny they think their 4000 pound car can come compete with a 500 pound bike with 160hp in a straight line.
I get challenged often when I'M driving the Corvette.
Mostly at traffic lights.
I hear the same words over and over.
"You wanna punch it"?
"What'll it do?"
"You wanna run that thing?"
I always give them the same answer,that being, "I don't need to prove anything to anybody about what this car is capable of."
"I know what it can do, and that's all I need to know."
"You wanna know what it can do, go buy one".
Bob.

Just sit at a stop light and be looking at the other driver in a sideways look. Power brake a bit and act like you are outta there and let him bust the stop light.

I had that same issue with my mustang 5.0 GT. Seem like every guy in a Charger or Challenger R/T wanted to mess with me. Always picking on my poor little 2011 Mustang GT.
Forgive your challengers OP, they wrongfully assumed that you had a manual transmission.
As in, your riding, not driving.
