i don't even get excited when a VW GLI/GTI tries to bite on me anymore, they're all over my neighborhood... although, a Golf R would make me quite excited.

I'm just glad I finally had someone give it a go! I've had the SHO over a year and only had this GLI and an ST, and the ST wasn't even going after me, he was going after some other car, but hey, threes a party right?!

took out a 70's Camaro on the highway. He saw me coming and got the jump from about 70 and I reeled him in a slowly went on past. It was a nice Camaro (for a Chevy). There was a car show in the area that day. It ran good but he was surprised it was a Taurus passing him up lol

Out for a quiet Sunday drive after coming home from the parent's house, the wife and I found ourselves south of the border.  I notice a red G8 GT in front of me about 100 yards. Rolling down the highway at 60, making a couple moves to put us side by side, I noticed a couple cars approaching the intersection from the cross road. So I slowed down attempting to catch the light with the G8. Bright red, lowered, wheels, exhaust and an SCT badge on the trunk.  I brake boosted to let the BOV vent at the light to get his attention, he and his passenger look over and I hear him rev the motor to launch. I do the same.....

Light turned green and I jumped out about 4 car lengths, shut it down around 75 and only had about 3 cars on him by then. I gave him the thumbs up but apparently he didn't want to return the favor.  He stayed back the rest of the time until getting off the highway. The wife said all the money I'm spending on the car is worth it after that.

It's so fun when you know you got under their skin and hurt their pride. I always give a thumbs up even if I loose. It's about the fun and no matter what you drive, sooner or later you'll be up against something faster.

Anyone else find it difficult to get people to bite against the SHO? Especially in the evenings when its getting dark i assume they see a dark colored taurus and figured its a cop. And no real way to get their attention with revving. I have had a few people at the track mentioned they seen me on the toll road on the way to the track and thought i was a cop. Must be why everyone goes 5 under the speed limit when im behind them.

Kyle I have the same problem.

I've also noticed douchebags in mustangs knock off their shenanigans once the SHO makes its presence known. One off the line demonstration seems to cause them to fall back and behave. Especially if they have their women with them.

I always got people wanting to play right in front of the cop shop.  Doesn't matter what I was in.  Since I got the SHO, I only messed with one person, younger guy in a TSX-S that goes racing all through town, weaving in and out of traffic.  It was definitely a waste of fuel, but I still giggled like a little girl.

At least the Taurus is quiet.  The '12 GT was obnoxious at WOT.

A week ago, on my way home from work in my Explorer, I was in the left lane when a black SUV in the right lane, which I had seen earlier in my rearview, guns it and starts pulling ahead of me by a fender.  Didn't know what it was at the time, but not one to be overtaken like that, I lay into it with my right foot.  We stayed pretty much even, me behind by a foot, until I back off at 80 (in a 45 mph zone).  He backs off right after, rolls his window down, and makes a "close" indication with his hand.  It wasn't until we both turned when I could see what he was driving, a Chevy Tailblazer SS (395 hp V8).  If I had known we were going to race at the beginning, I think I would've had him.
Must have been modified... I just toasted one of those at the track he ran a 14.1.. I even had a crappy start. Car fell on its face
