Will you get into it on the highway or not?

Just wanted to get a poll guess here. How many Camaro drivers will be getting into friendly racing contests on the Highway? You know when you are driving on the interstate and a driver from another sports car pull along side you and motions to you if you want to go.

Nah. If they feel like killing themselves, they can go right ahead.

Don't embarrass yourself racing on the highway. You'll end up looking really fly until you nose into the back side of a bus. Tell anyone who wants to race to meet you at the track.

Glad to see that at least there are some people that use good judgment. Just checking to see if there is some one that will show there true colors.

I'm usually pretty docile, even in fast cars. I won't race anyone unless I'm stubbornly urged into it. Unfortunately, considering the styling I am going for with my Camaro, it will be hard to remain discreet. So yeah, on a few occasions I might just have to back up the logo in the center of my grille. xD

Well as for me there is nothing but highways around here and the speed limit is from 45-60mph. So I guess you can say I'm always racing every car around me as is every one on the road.

im not going to lie, i have raced on the streets before. when i first got my 78 running. but then i realized what i was doing and havent raced on the streets for about a year now.
i take all of my business out to the track. plus is a hell of a lot more fun out there chilling with the other muscle drivers.

Weeeeeeeeellll...maybe I'll make an exception for ricers.

I mean, it'd be perfectly safe. I'd just have to accelerate normally to beat them!

Well, the track nearest us is so shitty that we probably get better times on century old pavement. We've even found a few without potholes! It's amazing how well the roads hold up when nobody is ever on them.
