In my experience, a lot of cars that know they're slower than you start driving less aggresively when they see you pull up next to them at the light. Like they'll be driving aggressively when they don't see me, then when they see me next to them at a stoplight, they drive more conservative after. I'm talking about cars like riced up Civics, etc.

After first 3k miles on my coupe I am noticing:
- Lots of time people trying to race me without reason, on highway or traffic lights changed to green. Especially happened with underpowered BMW models like 325/328 or Acura TL. What is going on with this slugs?
- It is very easy to drive over speed limit and tough under 
- Police taking closer looks on coupes somehow especially in NJ
- Smaller cabin in coupe causing more troubles for big driver with blind spots

- Definitely, but fortunately, I'm quick to correct it.
- Hell yes. I had one trail me for a mile or so. He was just waiting for me to floor it...loser. He got bored and left.
- Ehh, I'm pretty small..

-Cube (wtf!), Chevy Silverado SS, Civic Si's, A4's, 325's/28's (I think the 335's are worried about getting burned ), nearly any numbnut that thinks he's a race car driver. Even some jerk in a raised Chevy (silver with a big anarchy symbol on the gate)
-the car wants to go.
-cops are on me like flies on ...
-6'2", 220, no probs

I don't think 335is much faster car, difference is 0.2 - 0.4 sec with G37. I saw tests showing G37 coupe making 0-60 in 5.0 and 335 in 4.8. Very tiny difference, making small twicks and on good tires that would be not easy to win for 335. M3? I would like to see how M3 would do against Nissan GT-R

1) whenever i see an underpowered car, i try to race them. especially toyota priuses and nissan cubes.
2) i try to dry at 55mph all the time b/c it's the most fuel efficient w/respect to drag. even in 25mph zones.
3) i like to tailgate police cars and pretend im looking up their license plates.
4) i agree with the blind spots. i leave my blinkers on for this reason so drivers know to keep away from my blind spots.

- Nobody whos ever lined up with me, although I've noticed cars in front of me tend to accelerate hard at the light
- Yes, I tend to avoid highways for this reason, but when on them I use cruise control, problem solved
- I've blown by some cops and no problems and I live in NJ, and i dont have any tags at all, just an expired temp that sits on the speaker in the back and 2 plates in my trunk.
- Adjust those mirrors man, you shouldnt be able to see the car behind you in your side mirrors (I'm 6'3 and have plenty of room even when sitting up straight)

This happens to me all the time... people trying to race me when they know they dont stand a chance, this pisses me off. sometimes I ignore them, but sometimes Ill be like "f*uck it" and smoke 'em.

Re: radar detector - get a Valentine One, worth the investment. Saved me at least 3 tickets last year. Best is that you cannot get caught at night either - seems a favorite time for police to pull over people around here. I guess if you don't see them you don't slow down....
