Seems like every time I have the GT3 RS out for a drive some moron wants to 'race'. Usually in an M3 or some ricer thing. How do you deal with all the unwanted attention?

Must be getting old - idiots pi$$ me off!

 

i just ignore them.
or if i am in the mood, i will only race them into turns. most of them can't hang.

 

i never get raced lol. but when they think thgey can keep up i hit a nice corner and the're gone.

 

I just smile and slow down

 

it happens to all p-models, even in my lowly S. after looking over casually at the driver, i look at their car. then i shake my head and start chuckling (as in a "you've got to be kidding me...with THAT car?" look.) pisses them off to no end.

 

+100

 

I get my kicks at track events. A stop-light to stop-light drag race is stupid and not nearly as much fun as a track day, so I ignore them. Plus, if you should get caught in a street race, you're probably going to jail.

Just ignore them.

 

I think the word idiots is a strong word. Need to look at it from a different perspective....

How many people would die to drive a GT3 RS, let alone see one go full throttle? I think we as owners forget how special these cars really are. Dont get me wrong, it gets annoying when someone comes next to me trying to make me race, but I usually smile and give them a wave. If I am in the right mood, I'll gun for a gear.


Really? And you wonder why we "Porsche" guys get a bad rap. Its bad times for a lot of people out there. No need to throw gas on a fire.

 

yes really. ok so somebody is that much of a mindless a**hole where they think street racing/intimidation is cool, and you dont think a little sarcastic belittling is in order?? "really"???

and sorry if i'm missing the meaning of gun for a gear but if you're implying that (if you're "in the right mood") you will actually race sometimes, then you're a bigger idiot then they are. not to mention throwing gas on a fire...

 

I just ignore the would-be racers and keep looking straight ahead. After a while they get the message that I'm just not interested and they go away.

More often I just get a thumbs up from other drivers and that's fine. I usually acknowledge them with a smile or wave.

 

You can always roll down your window and tell them you're law enforcement. That should get them to stop.





Don't actually do it because it can get you in trouble.

 

just carry this picture in poster size with you and they'll leave you alone:

 

Happened to me last night. Some guy in a Cadilac SUV. Not sure what the motivation was, but I did not respond. I don't need a ticket and I am not out to prove anything.

 

IMHO that was the right response.
