When I was growing up, my next door neighbor had three Porsches - a 356, a Carrera, and a 928. This was the late-70's.

The best lesson I ever learned from him was NEVER accept a challenge from some loser who wants to race you, it's always a lose-lose proposition.

If you really want to pizz these people off, do what my neighbor always did - drive slow and easy. Save the antics for track day. It absolutely drives the losers crazy. Nothing like revving engines with some guy in a '73 Camaro with Crager mags, glass packs and Hi-jacker shocks (god am I dating myself), only to turn right when the light turns green and watch as Johnny Hero has left 20 feet of Goodyear Polyglas rubber behind him.

It sounds like that's what most of you guys are doing, so obviously the strategy works.

It's not a racial thing, it's jealousy and self-righteousness pure and simple.
