I've made personal history today. I was revved at for first time today.
I was leaving work and was at the three way intersection. I am in the alley perpendicular to the through road. In the turn lane of the through road, I spy a silver 1980's Porsche 944. Inside there is a young guy, my age or so, and a young lady (a girlfriend?). The car is dirtier than mine and fairly beat up. I see the guy looking at me and doing the "uh hu" nod. *BRRRMMMBAAAAA!!!!TWEETT!* It obviously has a turbo and blow-off valve. I've been minding my own business, eyes ahead at the light. He does it several times more, so I can't help but look. When we make eye contact, he revs and bounces off the limiter.
Now for the best part. His girlfriend slugs him with a lot of force. I see him mouth "ow" and her mouth "F--- off!"
By this time the light turned green and I made my left turn, being sure to floor it when I was equal to him, making my dual Flowmasters growl. I could see he was staring straight ahead, avoiding eye contact, and his girlfriend in the angry, arms crossed position.
Sigh... Anyone else have a slow day?

I have a 99 mustang v6, true duel flowmaster set-up and a few aggressive exterior mods, but I also own a 1983 Porsche 944, and I would say that 90% of the time people always rev thier car at me when I am in the Mustang... I don't think it is because they think they have a better chance of winning, because my Porsche is older than dirt, but I think that when people see a Mustang I think it makes them angry..... Like "hey... look at that jerk enjoying america's pony car, he thinks he's soooo mighty... well I will show him the true power of this Toyota Carolla! I have a bolt on tin can exhaust tip after all... he doesn't stand a chance!"
