I have had my SS/RS for over a year and I have never noticed this happening to me. Maybe it's the area that you live in?

Well since you aren't in Texas I can't help much other than it's either great scenery or the shield.

If you were in Texas I'd say there are just more trucks than most anything else so it's just the ratio of trucks to cars...

If we get separated by a traffic light, four way stop, etc, I will look up & see them gaining ground fast to catch up with me. They make no effort to pass (not that I'd let them), just stay there following. On the highway I travel, there are a lot of hills. On the steep ones an extra lane is added so heavy vehicles can pull out & let traffic pass. One truck pulled out at one of those places I thought to pass. But he just pulled up beside me for a bit then dropped back behind me (to look at the car?). My guesses: 1) they just like looking at my car, 2) they figure I will not drive below the speed limit (actually, I usually stay within 5 MPH of it unless passing) & they figure if anyone gets pulled over by law enforcement it will be me & not them. Beyond those & don't get it.
THAT'S not you they are following , it's your camaro that's all!

Tagging along

Yeah I've noticed being drafted too in the SS. Even having them pace besides me on the four lane Hwys is ok so long their not in my blind spots. I've looked over and several are giving me the thumbs up ..........and at read lights and stop signs folks taking pic's of Casper and my personalized plates. Their always grinning and smiling too .............its nice being the subject matter that brings happiness to the true automotive lovers in the crowd.

Now for those cowboys in the Ford GT's, that seem to always pull up besides Casper bucking up like a real wild mustang, popping their clutchs and reving their engines in an attempt to get me to react.............they'll have to wait until the break in periods over..........in the in turn I just turn towards their lady passengers and blow them a kiss . Really pisses off the drivers heheee. Ya gotta love a

I mentioned the same thing to my son the other day and it always seems to be dodge rams constantly speeding up and braking, maybe they're trying to impress us with their s&^t boxes
