Why do Porsches (and the ilk) send other drivers into rages??

I often ponder my own destiny and my occasional risky spurts of enthusiasm and wonder if it helped me avoid disaster or rushed me towards it.

So far so good but I tend to think back on some of those things and make a mental note not to do it again. Best to leave the high speed antics to the track rather than messing with unpredictable and often irrational regular drivers that barely passed high school physics and have no clue what they are doing.

I do feel a bit guilty at times when I have provoked a Honda to try and stay with me in the twisties. They typically try to chase and get themselves in trouble quite quickly and if lucky, just scare themselves as they over reach their own and the cars capabilities.

A momentary evil grin, then a bit of guilt. I figure the planet is over populated with Hondas so running a few through the Darwin Award test is OK right?

Also I've noticed that when I'm driving slower (The Speed Limit) other folks around slow as well as they must think that something is wrong or my detector has picked up the LEO's.
They would be right with that assumption!

Oh Hondas lol, I had a 90's Honda Civic tailing me and revving just before a downhill sharp s section. I buzzed through no problem, on the first corner he slid perfectly sideways into the curb hitting both side rims. Could hear the crunch sound from the bottom of the hill, needless to say he did not even look over at me at the lights

Hehehe, I just love that. Perhaps I really am evil at heart.

I had a Jeep on my tail. I was going 10 over on a country road. I came to a 90 at 60 mph that was marked at 25 mph and I didn't touch the brakes. That was the end of the Jeep problem.
