Why is this? What do they think that means, when they are going the other direction and they see you and just as they are going by they rev the crap out of their cars? So you have a loud exhaust, congrats! Now what? Do you want an award?

It means, you have a much better car, and they need to let you know they are trying their best to buy one or match your performance. But since they couldn't get a vette they got what they could, and need to let you know that their working on it.

Had a guy with a built up mustang in my neighborhood last year, he would leave tire marks on the street in front of my driveway , so i posted a sign saying "spend more money" caught up with him on the street last year and wiped his azz priceless

LOL I had the same issue here at the light the other night. 5 guys in a mustang wanting to race and the thing was loud and slow. I was thinking in all my life I have never tried racing anyone with a car full of dead weight. I'm tired of it too at first I used to nail the mustangs but its gotten to the point I cant just enjoy cruising without some idiot in a mustang wanting to race.Now I just let them fly by and think they got something.

You know, I thought I was only imagining they were reving up, but now that you mention it.
I assume they want you to notice them and are trying their best to match the Corvette's moxie.
I don't mind, it's just their way of mock challenging the Alpha car.
Corvette Rules!....:patriot:

they do it everywhere... I believe its like this.

They are coming down the road and see our Corvettes... They then need us to see them so only way to go about it is REV it REV it hard that Corvette will think Im as cool REV it... Or maybe they will hear my awesome power and want my car Like I want theirs :SMILEY:

Have a guy in my neighborhood that does this daily, I will chat with him 1 of these days. I think he just wants me to know hes there... to bad hes H/c'd with dumps, like i didn't know he was passing through. Secondly he can h/c his 4000lb car all day long its still a turd, and he can find me on the track any night as long as I remember to turn that damn traction control off!!! :DeadHorse:

I was traveling to LOWES the other day and a mustang going the other direction did this while laughing at me....needless to say it was a quick U-turn and to his surprise he saw me pull up next to him. He pointed, I nodded yes, he honked 3 times, I floored it and watch him get VERY small in my side view mirror. I let off at about 90 and I saw him turning off...he wasnt laughing any more. Thought you all would enjoy that.

They think that the louder the car is the faster it will go no matter what!

GA you are such a bully :lol: I had a Mustang GT pull up next to me on the interstate while doing about 70, we both hit and when he finally caught up, he gave me the :thumbsup: I felt so bad for him cause he had a cutie in the passenger seat. :rofl::burnout:

my truck is VERY loud and if i want to mess with the vettes I will do a little rev but i wave or give a thumbs up at the same time. I love that the ford trucks do this to me to. just cuz my truck is loud doesnt mean i want to race

It's their way of compensating for the lack of speed, the noise level makes them believe that they have a fast car.
