I actually quite like it when I get challenged, it doesn't happen that often..

When it does, I just roll off the line, as he floors it, and [probably] end up pulling up to the next set of Lights that he has been sat at for a while..!

Around me it’s sti’s and diesel bro dozer hick-ups who try those antics. I don’t take the bate at lights. I’ll keep my clutch and eat my pride. My 6.2L gas GMC Sierra will smoke my car anyway.

Who irritate me most most are the guys who gun it to my local cloverleaf on ramp and then spoil my fun by driving 30mph to keep their truck off it’s roof. That’s about the only time I really try to get out front.

I get challenged frequently in my Viper especially. Often enough, I think it's mainly people just wanted to see it go. But even the viper (00 gts) isn't a contender for modern cars in a straight line, so I keep the playing off the streets.

My 993 looks too "respectable" to be challenged. I've only really been challenged in my more extreme/racey/track looking cars (Atom, Exige, Miata) in the past. I could see it happening if I had an RS Clubsport setup, but for a regular AR C2? Nah.

I haven't had many as of late, but have had my fair share. A few I accept the challenge, but most I ignore due to age and intelligence. I would be more embarrassed getting busted racing some punk kid than I would getting smoked off the line.

Not in the Porsche. I get a LOT of people saying they love the car though. Amazing how many young people recognize it for what it is.

The Race challenges happen all the time with the M3. I do my best not to take the bait.
