    Was driving back from a track day in my scud tonight and got the typical fan boys trying to get me to race them. These particular guys were in a BMW M3 with a modified exhaust. This got me to thinking that it's often the BMW M drivers who want to race me (I just ignore them). What is your experience?

    Depends on the country. Here in Austraya (Australia :) ), we get the bogans and/or cops trying to race/bait you in their holden falcodores...

    what i think is funniest is the normal-ish cars
    younger kids in Pontiacs, Saturns, Chevys etc that feel the need to leave the parking lot fast.. Almost like a male dog peeing on everything

    They are all OK by me. Seriously the love of cars is all we have in common but it's more than we have in common with others who don't care what they drive....even if "they" don't know it.

    The WRX'ers always seem to want to race though!

    Oh I thought of one type that can be annoying! It's the ones who want to get real close to see the engine at a stop light...on a steep hill!!!!

    The JDM crowd, the VW crowd and generally the small displacement hot hatch guys. I like those cars too and don't really mind it's all in good fun and we are all enthusiasts. I generally find that a friendly wave or a thumbs up disrupts/disarms any race attempt. It's not so much they want to race as it is they are simply seeking acknowledgment and acceptance/approval. I'm okay with that.

    I have both the 430 spider and a Carrera S. I find Audi owners and Subaru WRX owners equally annoying. As for the Audi owners, I'm referring to the regular sedan types, not R8 owners. While the WRX does move, I hate their muffler as it looks so out of place!

    Cheers

    I get a remarkable number of Camaros that come up next to me and rev their engines. Its cool. I like Camaros. I don't race though.

    big diesel pickups where I'm from, always want to race, never do though. A funny thing happened to me right after I got my 430, my nephew texted me telling me my car was on a friends Facebook page, it had a photo of my car and it said racing a Ferrari in my minivan. Made me laugh

    Infiniti drivers are by far the worst. Then would come Subaru drivers. Porsche and BMW drivers usually just give a thumbs up. Merc and Lexus drivers don't pay much attention to sports cars. Thats my experience.

    Pickup trucks and work trucks are the worst for me. Never cut you any slack, will accelerate to not let you change lanes. I'm always on the look out for them (and Camrys and Minivans).

    Camrys, especially with the Gold Package, minivans, and any Toyota with a caved-in rear bumper.

    Those damn BMW M Car drivers!!! :p

    When in my 360, it's normally younger people in modified Japanese cars that tend to get a little bit close. But, usually, they're respectful if they're in their 20's. If they're in their teens and in a modified Japanese car, then they sort of feel like they have something to prove...
    all while making a video of every single moment...

    Seriously, though, it's usually the people with one hand out the window taking video on their phone while trying to simultaneously drive that please me the least. Younger guys in BMW's (non-M cars) will also do this, I have found.
