Actually, i find it really really uncommon for another car to prevocate. In fact, it has only happened several times in the past 3 years. Typically they are BMW M cars.
Many years ago, a college friend was out in his 260 Falcon, and ran upon a 289 car. He was able to prevoke the driver into racing away, and my friend told me it was a great sight to watch it blast ahead.
cruised thru a SC rest stop last summer, it was full of Corvettes out for a cruise, an older driver of a C5 misunderstood something i was telling him, he thought i wanted to challange him, and he replied "no way i would run a Cobra."
I have only seriously run once, a modified Z-06, took him thru third easily, was pretty much even from a roll-on in fourth. A HP came up immediatly afterwords, and i vowed to never ever do that again.
Was cruising to Charlotte yest, with my daughter, a SC HP on a motorcycle came up along side of me, smiled and gave me thumbs up. Came back soaked by the rain, fans in the car now. Did not bother to put the top up.
Dropped by the Charlotte Porsche dealer yest to pick up something for my son's Boxster. The service manager and his staff loved my car and its sound. Even with GT-2's and other exotic really formidable cars there, they admired the classic look and intimidating sound of my primative machine. They invited me to come out today for a track day, so i am heading out now.
I have been in the company of upwards of 50 SPF's, and have been told that mine was the loudest of them all. I have some "tweaks" to my exhaust. So i think my exhaust is very very intimidating at any RPM.
Now off to the track.
