I ignore everyone but the tailgaters, I just pull over and let the tailgaters pass. But I daily drive my 360 so I have gotten used to it and ignore it, now I don't even notice people taking pics, I just watch the cars to make sure they don't hit me, I don't watch the drivers/passengers.
Mustangs! I just parked out in the middle of no where while shopping at Lowe's. Guess what I came out to. A damn Mustang parked right next to me. He wasn't close enough to bang doors but it still pissed me off. I wasn't a jack ass and only took up one space with nobody around me. I swear I hate Mustang drivers.
If I was in the Mustang, it would make perfect sense to me to park beside you. As the aforementioned Mustang driver did, I wouldn't park close enough to give you a door ding, but having a Ferrari on one side of me would at least guarantee that I wouldn't get a door ding on that side.
Best car on track is a single seater open wheel winged/downforce car...Formula Atlantic or F-Continental ...they will make a Scud or any other heavy doorslammer feel like it's standing still. That said I've had students with FoW/Algar track days who have brought there road going Ferraris and Challenge cars CS/Scud etc. and the cars are excellent on track, great feedback, chassis are nicely balanced, power delivery is linear and deliberate. Just great cars...I like working with the Ferrari and PCA/Porsche groups and BMW CCA...all wonderful cars on a track. Dave..Road Atlanta is fantastic...how about that T12...grab a gear and throttle hard...under the bridge and down the hill
This and high-end/modified Mustangs. The new BMW M cars are extremely fast and they know it. I guess they get a kick knowing they can pull up next to a 360/430 and 'take' them in a 4-seat sports sedan. The Mustangs just want to drag race stop light to stop light. But the best I've every been harassed while in the Scuderia was by a middle age lady in a convertible 991 Porsche. She just wanted to play as we drove down PCH! I didn't mind that one too much.
The day will come for all of us when a grandma in a supped up dodge Viper will pull up next to us and unleash fury! ....and hell will follow as she stomps on the gas and the turbos start hissing with mighty merciless savagery!
Any car that tail gates me. Most of the time, it just a thumbs up! Which is nice. I was at a car meet a few months ago, I parked my car and took a walk around to view the other cars. I came back to my car and a young teenage girl was laying on the hood for a picture. That's bad enough, but, her mother was taking the picture. I know teenage girls aren't too bright, but, you would think her adult mother would know better. I just walked up and said, "What are you doing?"
Over the years I have had the whole gamut of racer boys, but when push comes to shove none of them ever have what it takes. I think most are just fellow enthusiasts wanting acceptance. It's all good fun. As for annoying...... Hands down, the award goes to the Prius crowd. Self righteous, arrogant, traffic blockers!
I know, right!? LOL My current rides Here they drive like maniacs, thinking they'll get away with it. We have 55 zones where everyone is going 70-75 through there, and I'm the slow one at 62mph. Yep. My feeling exactly. Though I did spank a WRX STi once in my M5 because I just couldn't resist +1 I used to ride, but a nice quiet Suzuki GSXR-750. Those loud Harleys get my vote for most annoying vehicles on the road. My #2 choice is the Audi models that light up my Valentine V1 like a Christmas tree because they're throwing off K-band radar like a microwave oven on crack, so they can have collision-avoidance warnings.
I am trying to get someone driving my WRX to race me in my Modena its going to be pretty close! will be nice to see which one wins
I was just telling someone that I think my new STi may actually be faster, at least to 100.. it would be close! Image Unavailable, Please Login
Definitely prius drivers (they annoy me no matter what car I'm driving), they're the most likely to be blocking the passing lane. I also despise Audi drivers with their fog lamps on when there's no fog, I tolerate the front ones but cannot stand the rear ones.
Nice! I will definitely have another STi one day. I had one of the first 04's, built in 03. Put 78k on it without a hiccup. Year round. Total thrashing. I like Subaru. Seem to be back on track I terms of styling also.
Perfect play car for New England for winter, and I already am looking at track suspension mods for the spring...
I've had 2 cars pull up rapidly behind me while I'm stopped at a light with their camera covering their entire face making me wonder about getting rear ended. Also Prius idiots but for another reason. I've had 2 (I know) but each one going 80+ is destroying their fuel economy and makes me wonder why they got one in the first place! I discovered for myself I do drive umm "fast" and a Prius is just a noisy crappy car when driven fast. Thats why my DD is a BMW and my day off car is the Ferrari.
