You bought a NEON orange charger...............PLASTERED with HEMI............and your susprised people try and race you?

Anyway.....have fun and use the gas a little ...........its like crack.

 

Yeah, I gotta agree w/ ChargerTrev - a Daytona may as well be a sign saying "who wants to run?"

At the same time, I had more people pull alongside me when I had the plain jane inferno red R/T w/ R&T. I think I had the car for about 3 days when a carload of kids pulled up beside me in a 90's Dodge Spirit and started standing on the brake and mashing the gas. When the light turned green, I let them go and pulled out real nice and slow. We met at the next light and they started doing it again - evidently very persistent or didn't catch that I wasn't out to race them. :slap:

 

Did someone say Racing???? and how it's like a drug??? I'll agree it's addicting..

 

I just point at my 3.5 badges and laugh at them/myself. That ends it.

 

I point too... To my Hemi badge and laugh at them...

 

I've had similar incident, but they are rare. ChargerTrev has a good point. The flashy color and Hemi decal on our cars do attract idiot drivers to want to race.

 

Solution - Get an SXT for a daily driver:banana:

 

f"em BEAT THERE ARSE INTO THE DIRT EVERYTIME.tHERES NOTHING LIKE EMBARSSING THEM AND STRIPPING THEM OF THERE MANHOOD ,THEY NEVER RECOVER LOLOLOLOL.

 

:rocker: ROCK ON!!!

 

thanks lolololol

 

All the time. And it's never cars that could give me a run for the money. Mostly cars who have fart cans....like I am supposed to be impressed or something. I laugh. They get mad. Oh well. :alfdance:

Same here... I just laugh

 

Get used to it, flashy colors will bring much unwanted attention, like it or not. You're like the bright orange (nemo/clown) fish in the sea, and everyone around you is jealous. I'm pretty sure we're all tired of the four bangers with the coffee can mufflers. It really is a complete waste of time proving anything to them, and they'll just keep going at it.

 

I've had a few ricers try and act all tough and I just ignore them all. I figure if they are that dumb...

What gets me are the Ram owners with Hemi's that want to race me. I don't know what they think they have to prove, but I'm certain that I can outrun them; I just choose not to drive like a fool.

all trunks for that matter... i don't get it in my SRT but did get it when i had my RT

 

I've never actually had the problem of people trying to block my way in traffic, but rather the opposite, I've had people move out of the way when behind them. As for those that want to race, I've never actually noticed, I just keep looking forward when they pull up beside me. When they see that I won't acknowledge them, they usually just move on.

 

All the friggin time, from several of the 9 million WSR's up here to a freak in a sublime civic!?! Sometimes I go, sometimes I laugh it off, depends on the day and my State Trooper spidey senses.. :beer_yum:

 

Part of the fun in owning a Daytona. Now add a louder exhaust and it only gets worse, sometimes you do though just need to stand on it and put them in their spot

 

Hmmm, I honestly don't think I've ever been noticed in my Silver Steel.

 

Like I said, most of these idiots are in ricers

That is because since their rear Wing and their xhaust tips (or tip) are larger than yours that they think they are faster than you! :alfdance:

 

Pick up trucks bug me. F-150s and S10s. REALLY OLD ones at that. :slap: I usually let them drive on by.

 

Yeah pick up trucks usually mess with me more than anything....probally because right now im driving a kia spectra with a huge "TAPOUT* window sticker. The only think about is if they wernt in those huge pick up trucks they wouldnt think about messing with me....i'm alittle crazy if pissed off.

Guys in pick up truck think they can own the road.....when I get the SRT8 I better not get the same crap or else....i'll open up that HEMI. Sounds like i'm in for some more pick up trucks even in the HEMI. Sucks that one day I might follow one of these dude home...

 

I get idiots trying to race me everyday here in the bay area.
I ordered some 3.5 badges for my R/T.

 

It's funny people hardly ever bother me. Not since summer at least. Once every couple of weeks maybe. You would think the big SRT on the back would be a huge bullseye.

 

not since you added that hello kitty window decal:slap:

 

I get this a lot around here. Most cars are not even worth a second look. I'm not braging because they are the cars that even the people driving them know, they aren't serious. They just want to rev them up to get your attention. I live on a busy road and when I have the car in the driveway and I'm washing I get people reving up as they go by. I have had people rev up when the car is in the driveway and I'm in the house.

 

I thought I was the only one that had that happen to them. I thought I was imagining it till my wife and step son said something about the cars passing the house.

 

A few weeks ago I was driving the 6.3 and some idiot in a ricer purged his nitrious at the stop light. I still smoked that little pile of $hit.

 

There are a couple of Tiburons, a Titan, a SS HHR, and various fast and furious wannabes around here that step up from time to time. I don't have the badest car around, but can make quick work of these guys and not even try that hard.

 

I really don't get a lot of challenges in my R/T, although I did notice a few more when I put my new rims on. It's mostly mustangs and civics with really big mufflers. I ignore most of them, I can't afford the tickets that might go along with showing them what the HEMI can do.

Oddly enough I got a lot more challenges in my old '96 Cougar.

 

I've had my Charger for over a year and a half and I've only had 3 people try to "race" me, and no one in the last year or so.

The first two morons I didn't even have to exceed the speed limit or change my driving style to leave them behind, so I don't really consider it a "race", and the third one I just sat at the light and counted to three after it turned green and let him race by himself.

Cars, fuel, and insurance are all expensive up here. It's rare I ever see a car that has the potential to beat me, but I wouldn't race anyone anyway. Not worth it up here; they impound your car and suspend your license on the spot. No day in court, no lawyers; Roadside Justice.

I don't wanna be the guy that races a Honda Civic and wins, then is left standing on the side of the road while they tow my car away...

-=FLEX=-

 

I wish I had more "worthy" challengers but I race them all from wheel chairs to rocketships! but there is this 1 Ferrari that looks for me daily it seems! I got him last time we lined up at a light I built up my RPM's to 3500 and did a smoky U-turn! guess I showed him huh!

 

yeah best thing you can do is either just stay looking straight and ignore them, or just look at them; take a second to recognize what theyre driving, then laugh which always seems to piss em off.

in my area, anytime i even accelerate a little hard, people think im trying to race, and usually if theres some open road and i know theres no cops, ill put em in their place as hard, as fast and as long as i have to.

its mostly ricers around here with the coffee cans on the back, every now and again i see a Evo or something that can actually go 100+mph without exploding. I definitely know what you're talking about though, i ride with my dad in his supercharged F150, or my grandmother in her Cadillac Eldorado and people even try to race them, but the f150 has the 2 tone paint job, so the flashiness and Supercharged badge probably does provoke.

 

I don't have that problem.

Not many people wanna risk passing you when your tag reads "TROOPER"

And plenty of people will move out of the way, when they see my tag in their rear view mirror

For those that don't know "The Trooper" is a record by Iron Maiden, I'm not a cop. lol

 

That is funny stuff!!!!! :clap:
