Talking Why does everyone want to race?

Hey guys, this is my first week with my C4S PDK, and it seems like every one including a Ford Ranger wants to race.... Does anyone get this? Also, for some odd reason, I am driving little slower that all of then traffic... I was enjoying the ride today, but for some reason, I felt obligated to..... then I slipped my finger to the sport plus mode and HIT IT!!!!! holy cow, hold on.... then I was like..... where is the nearest WC!!!!!!

It used to happen to me so much when I first bought the car... Then as I started to mod it the car looked meaner and more aggressive and people didn't want to mess with me anymore

I think its the C4S. its not a turbo, but from the rear it has that coke bottle wide look ... makes people want to race it.
I get it all the time.
I agree with sin911, more aggressive looking = less messed with

maybe tint your windows?

I agree with the wide rear and everyone wants to mess with you but don't honestly think the avg driver knows a C2s from a C4, C4s, GT3, GT2 or Turbo. Most drivers see the "PORSCHE" and become your race "opponents" even though you are not racing.

I use the P car as a weekend driver and it always makes me laugh the way other drivers try to entice you to step on it. Maturity makes one overcome these missing link, "Geico commercial cave man" types!

I've been driving for 45 years.. it's amazing what a wide butt will do..

If they're not racing, they're tailgating...

Every 18 year old idiot in a mustang GT wants to race. Vette owners are a calmer lot and don't seem to be as aggressive.
