I think it irritates them even more if you just don't even pay any attention to them. Even though it takes mighty concentration to ignore them, with the underbody neon and urban jam booms from the subwoofer....

Had a new Spyker behind me and SFBanchs the other day for about 15 miles. He seemed content with riding behind us. Maybe that means something?

I get the same thing even though my car is badged as a C4S. No turbo badges. Just the wing. I don't bother with ricers. I did surprise an NSX once and really stomped a Mustang GT 500. Was he surprised. The only give a way on my car is the sound and the turbo spooling.

Though my wife would consider me an aggressive driver (not the same as road rage), especially behind the wheel of my our SMART, but when driving the TT, a calm comes over me as I just know who is the quickest, no need to prove it.

Pass left (with purpose), drive right. Love holding back on cloverleafs and then merging with purpose.....

PHP Code:
I get the same thing even though my car is badged as a C4SNo turbo badgesJust the wingI don't bother with ricers. I did surprise an NSX once and really stomped a Mustang GT 500. Was he surprised. The only give a way on my car is the sound and the turbo spooling. 
That's almost cheating. You need to let ppl know what you got. We all know c4s and turbo difference is night and day.

Stop putting your racing helmet on every time you go for a drive
