I swear I'm in the middle of ricer central and I've had my GT for 4 glorious months, but NOBODY wants a piece of this thing... not even once! Hell, I even go out looking for trouble sometimes I used to get bugged in my contour all the time, I even get bugged driving my gf's cavalier. Not that I advocate street racing of course, but like 11pm empty road with no intersections/driveways for over a mile, I'd give it a go.
The reason I ask about GT/V6 is that a guy at the office gets revv'd at all the time and he has a 6. The 6 is a pretty tough car and would take a lot of stuff, but are people afraid of the GT or something??
Believe it or not I got challenged today at a red light by, get this, a Scion Xb! Totally riced out including the stupidest looking coffee can tail pipe I have ever seen. When the light turned green he punched it (if that's even possible in a Scion). I wasn't going to play his game and just accelerated at normal velocity. Bet he told all his ricer buds he beat an 05 GT.

I get it alot. Some people just want to see what it can do, and they know they don't have a chance. But when someone does has a fixed up car, then I try not to race them just to make them mad. I had one guy give me the finger as he took the off ramp. LOL
Once I get my Saleen S/C , then I'll show them what I have . I'm not into street racing either, just a short thing just to let them know what I have.
When I do get my S/C, they can meet me at the race track here in San Diego at "Race Legal".
Oh, I've got to respond to this one, since I had an incident tonight. There's the last stoplight on a 2-lane highway that has a through left lane, and the right lane eventually has to merge. I was the second car in the right lane, saw an opening to get in the left and did it, signaled and everything. The Honda 4-door Accord in front of me saw what I was doing and tried to beat me. Please, give me a break. I got where I needed, then he flipped on the headlights at me, as if to tell me what, my V8 beat his 4? About the only challenges I get are those unworthy - a Celica, an Acura something or other, and that's about it. Maybe because I'm a girl, I dunno. I've raced one fellow GT-owner and it was all friendly. We waved and smiled. It was all good.

Today as a matter of fact, first time in looong time.
I was in a big windey loop from one arterial to another and I see this Honda pushing hard in my rearview, even in stock suspension I kept him at bay, when I turned onto arterial basically a hairpin, I goosed it in 2nd and power slid onto arterial. Nobody was around at mid day.
He comes on hard and slams it and I can hear a turbo I assume. I gave it redline 2nd, 3rd, and stayed in front for a long time although, he wasn't getting blown away, he was not going to pass me either.
I think he would have got me if I didn't have my mods.
I finally had to brake in 4th cuz a car was in my lane, was fun.
My area I rarely ever get any challenge.

I'd like to start by saying that I get challenged quite abit but I don't waste my time and gas with the little guys. I save my energy for the big dogs. You all know who I am refering to. As a matter of fact, I had one of those new Nissan Maximas tear off the line with me today. I had my son in the car so I let him enjoy the moment. Anyway, Msgt, I am here in the SD area working out of North Island. I am not familiar with Race Legal. Can you give me some specifics like price, dates, times, location, etc? Thanks.

I had a black mustang … not sure what model it was. All dressed up w/ body kit and shiny wheels and popped in his clutch and reved it up. It was s/c'd or whatever. Freakin' thing hurt my eardrums. This dude was on the other side of the road in traffic. Usual Bazilian ricer sh%t-boxes w/ cans on them reving up. I've given thumbs up to 20 V6'S and half that many V'8's…not one back! Maybe all had NY plates on'em.
I think it depends on how you drive... if you're hotshotting, high revs, having fun, someone will ctach on and make it a race... if you're coasting in the right most lanes, nothing...
I HATE waiving at fellow 05's and not even an reaction... they are Ford owners, not Stangers in my book!
