Why does everyone want to race me?

MY 996TT IS GREAT. I think that the car is fun to drive, and has all the power that I really need. The only thing that makes me Mad, is the fact that I can't pull up to a light without a modded sport car(s2000,BMW, 350Z, etc) pulling up beside me wanting to race. I didnt buy the car to race on the streets, I bought it because its one of best sport car of our times and is a lot of fun to drive. What do you guys do when this happens to you? Is there some sign I can wave to let them know that " We know my car is faster, I dont want to waste gas on a silly race"

Cheer's

Divi

It also happened to me when I had an RX8 but with that one, almost every car was faster, LOL.

Happens all the time to me here in Cali...take it as a compliment and the international sign is to just do a nice easy roll from the light and let the other guy go.

Must be a So.Cal thing. Here in Atlanta, I rarely get challanged. When I do, I just smile and wave. Street racing is just plain stupid. There is nothing to be gained by me stomping on an RX8 or 350Z, and plenty to lose!

I've raced a 03 GT2, 01 996 TT, 575 Maranello, F355 Berlinetta and a couple other exotics and they all give me the thumbs up. I LOVE seeing how my car runs against todays top cars
