I really think most of the kids who do that just do it because they want to see what your car can do. They're too embarrased (or is it too egotistical) to admit that your car will smoke them, but since they love speed so much, they REALLY want to see what your car can do. So they try to egg you into gunning it. I just either grin at them and pull away from the light real, real slow (because that just frustrates the hell out of them), or if they really seem intersted in the car, I'll rev the motor a bit. I've only had a few really try to push it, and I just told them where and when they can see FFR2479 on the track.
Are you practicing your launches so you can take on all comers at the Fling, Turk?
My new 351W goes into my car two weeks after the Fling, so I have the green light from my builder to do whatever I want with my lil 'ol 302. Gonna push it hard at the Sunday autox. Grab your barf bag!!!!
