Ok guys and gals heres one for you with the fast cars, such as hot rods, muscle cars old and new, fast exotics, etc... You know, cars that are suppose to be fast.
I drive the same roads to and from work, regardless if I'm in my truck or my Mustang. I see pretty much the same cars each time, each day. I drive the same speeds, make the same turns, take the same exits. I have noticed though, that when I am in my Mustang, that the same people I pass in my truck, tend to speed up and try to,for lack of abetter term, "race" with me, or in some cases let me pass, then speed by me. HAd one guy Friday, who has one of those new Exploreres, that I often pass, ride my tail for 1/2 mile, flashing his lights like he wanted me to race. Ill bet you Monday, Ill pass him, in my truck.
The best one was Mr. BMW who I clearly heard miss a shift
once he got it together he passed me like I was standing
still, only to catch up with him again about five miles down the
road chatting with the DPS.

Actually, the opposite. Most of the time at a red light in my Challenger, next to another muscle car or exotic, they are still barely through that intersection when I reach the next light. I have "beaten" Ferraris, Camaros, Mustangs and even a Lamborghini that way. The only time I was egged on was on a deserted highway at night when a hemi Ram pickup pulled up next to me and verbally challenged me. I couldn't resist so I took off and whooped him but then slowed down when I hit 80 in the interest of safety and not getting a big fat ticket.

Do any of you guys see this?
Of course, sometimes daily, always weekly. Attitude calls to like.
I drive a Guards Red Porsche 911, with factory ground effects, skirts, and wing: Aerokit Cup. I figure: red car, black center lock wheels, 2" lower than most 911s from the factory, why not? It gets lots of looks, from contempt to lust I'd say about equally split. I'm not interested in anyone else's opinion, it's my car and I tracked it down pretty specifically and did the deal.
It screams "attitude," which I have o'plenty. Just read two thousand something other posts to C-D by me . It also suggests "fast" which is half-true: at 430hp, normally aspirated, it winds up fast and like a fiend but it ain't got the torque of a Turbo or those V8 monstrosities like Mustang GT, Cobra, or other muscle.
So...big nuts 5.0 and etc. roll up on me, like as not I'll get an engine rev if there is opportunity for a jump-off. Other day was me doing-same to a Maserati Quattroporte or whatever they call latest sedan. He burned it out of there, I kept my car in park and sat for three seconds at the green light since I was so amused I'd "goaded" him into it. Those Maserati's have a Ferrari-designed c. 4.7 liter V8 that is pretty cool, last I checked. It sure sounded cool winding up and drawing away.
Pick your battles, per Sun Tsu's Art of War.
Alright, ego stroke time: here it is. Wouldn't you roll up on me and see what's what, Mustang boy?
NO one,repeat NO ONE has the fastest street car. Way to many variables. Light to light, Open road, road course.
