It could mean so many things...either you don't approve of the car, what they're doing on the road, or you just know your *** is going to be beat by whatever wants to race you so you're tucking your tail.
When I was cruising in my Camaro (no slouch at all, with 520 WHP on the juice), some dude instigated a race with me. And by that, I mean he was revving the crap out of me at a light, and then took off. So, being the middle of the night with wide open road in east bum **** Omaha, I didn't back down. Smoked him. He sticks his hand out and gives me a thumbs down. WTF is THAT supposed to mean? lol
If you don't want to race someone who's instigating, either don't look at them, or just laugh and ignore it. Giving a thumbs down just makes you look like a vagina.

Additionally, street racing has been given a bad rap because of the idiots swerving in and out of cars on highways.
I remember about 15 years ago the private events we would hold. 300+ cars would show up and we would run all night long down an old road. Cops would drive up, park and watch.
If someone nudges me at a light and it's safe with no traffic - hell i'll usually bite for a little bit.
