Very annoying. On the freeway, I usually set my cruise-control to 80 mph. I'll catch up to some folks, and of course, they never pull over, even if the lane on the right is free, so I go around them. Oftentimes, after that, they speed up.

We're talking obvious changes in speed like formerly going 75, but then, moving it to 85 to pass me, and then if they end up in front again, going 75.

This is when the Turbo shines ... :-) You can pass with very little room.

If I had an all black Turbo, I probably wouldn't get "flexed on" as much as I do. It's a speed yellow, and the turbo ducts are black, which kind of makes it look pretty aggressive.

Hell, even Prius's try to flex on me, and you know, with the somewhat dodgy clutch, they sometimes even win the 0-25 mph battle.

On the way home from grabbing some lunch yesterday I pulled behind a 2011 GT3RS at a stop light and a Red Ferrari California pulled next to me as well. So I was thinking this could be interesting? As soon as the light turned green the GT3RS floored it and I was right behind him soon as I hit 3rd he had nothing on me, oh and the Ferrari was about car length in a half behind us he didn't look too happy lol. Btw GT3's sound awesome I wish my TT could sound like that.
