Why do trucks like to follow Camaros?

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...

Pretty high ratio of trucks in middle Tennessee too. But the fact that they hurry to catch up when we get separated, then stay there. That's noticably different.

I have a pretty long drive (45-50 min). Every day both going to work & coming home almost every day a different truck gets behind me & stays there. 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.

Really? The only thing I've noticed behind Camaros is Mustangs and Challengers....

Okay, a lot of cars on the road end up behind them....those are just the one's I've noticed...

I call em "bait cars". Cruising north from New Orleans once (doing 78, 8 over the speed limit) when this guy came flying past me. I paced him at 100mph about 300-400ft back then whole way to Shreveport. Figured that if he slowed down, there was a cop nearby. Or if there was a cop, he'd get hit first and I'd have time to slow down.
