Why is it that everyone in a Corvette, Charger, WRX, etc., wants to race? Boxsters, even S's, really aren't fast. I guess everyone wants to beat a "Porsch".
Last fall I had a guy in a bright orange Challenger weave around traffic to get next to me at a light. I saw a cop a block up, so of course I had to give him a few blips of the throttle. Mr. Charger responded, the red mist of being able to let loose the Hemi on a "Porsch" apparently clouding his view of the cop, telling me that he had a nice exhaust on that Hemi. Sounds good! When the light turned green Mr. Charger cut a great light and hooked right up, taking the Hemi right up to redline. Yup, it is fast. Me, I casually pulled away from the light and watched as Mr. Hemi FINALLY noticed the cop, freaked out, and slammed on the brakes to the point of stopping in the middle of the street right in front of the cop. I waved to him and the cop as I passed by; doing the speed limit (30mph) of course. I should have turned around to see if the cop actually pulled him over (the cop may have been laughing as hard as I was) but I had somewhere to go. I felt a little bad for him. Not too bad though...
