people yelling "slow down"

i constantly cruise around going like 30 in a 25mph zone leaving it in second gear and almost every single day someone will say "slow down" is it because i leave it around 2.5 - 3k rpms so it sounds nice or because its red with white stripes? lol

Maybe it's the fact that you really are speeding and you admitted to it?

On the flip side, I was going 25 in a 25 zone in 2nd gear in a previous car that had an axle-back exhaust and I was told several times to slow down too! I'm all like WTF, I'm doing the speed limit so bite me! LOL

Not to thread jack, but seeing you have a 2013 GT500 and a ZL1, what do you think of them in a side by side driving dynamic? How do they compare? Have a favorite?

Try putting it in third so it does not sound so loud. Oh, thats right, you like it noisy and are wondering why people think you are going faster than you are.

The drag strip is like sniffing glue, it's cheap, it's a decent buzz, it doesn't last long and they are all the same.
Road racing is like China White Heroin, the buzz is stronger, the high lasts for hours, it's extremely addictive and they are all different.
I can't wait for my next

Every time someone tells me to slow down when I'm not speeding I do a rolling burnout just to piss them off.

I once got a ticket in my '78 trans am and the officer told me, it was because "you sounded like you were going fast"

he actually admitted in court and to me that he did not know how fast I was going, but my car sounded like it was going fast..
