How do you drive?

[Crono0001]

I don't think I'm good enough to get my tires to slide.

And this poll has nothing to do with the stupidity involved in racing/tailgating. It's more of a "how do you treat your boxster on the street" kind of poll.

I won't lie though. If something tries to follow me through a corner, I try my best to lose him. And I've beaten a Corvette on occasion.

at an Autocross they'll slide all right.

Regular street tires, at the limit, break EASILY on the sharp turns of a typical autocross. That's part of the learning curve, anyone can go fast on r-comps. Over-confidence on cheap street tires is one reason why so many sports cars end up in the junk yard crusher.

Most of us driving to work or going to get groceries have no desire to wreck our cars, or get a ticket, or are even in any mood to compete. What you think might be someone trying to race you, may just be an awesome driver going about his or her business. I get that all the time on on/off ramps, I take the line like I am programmed to (tracking for close to 10 years now), and people automatically think I am trying to race...sorry, no desire, but I will gladly see you at the track.

My Vette eats GT3's and everything else on the track. At my level with only race pads and Hoosiers R6's on my Vette (stock suspension, stock motor, etc), only the GT3RS, F430, and some 911 Cup cars can give me a good run for my money.

Go to the track, you will be humbled by someone in a Miata, F-body or Fox body, or even an 80's Honda or Toyota.
