I know that with my SI because the thing redlines so high when I leave a light no matter how slow im going as soon as it gets past 3000 rpm .. people hear the car revving high and assume im giving it...so they then gun it.. to make sure there faster off a light.
I usually have issues with mini vans and pickup trucks.. when I come up to a red light the light turns green and they churp the tires and take off.
I was explaining to someone the other day .. a old guy in a Chrysler 300 hit a redlight with me .. took off spining his tires .. then hit another red light .. this time he did it again .. and again I just slowley left the light .. he hit a 3rd light in a row and this time I decided to accelerate a bit quicker ..
when he finally caught up to me he rolled down his window and was yelling like a mad man.. he said you were driving like a granny the whole was down the street and now all of a sudden you want to drive fast .. then began saying wooooo your car is soooo fast .. does daddy know your driving his car.. ha ha .. Now im 30 yrs old .. im married and its my car .. but I dont get it. I cant explain why ppl are so ignorant .... but I can tell you one thing either they are trying to see how quick the car reallty is .. or they actually think the car is slow and want to try and prove it to you.
