As many have said before, it's really is a matter of location.
I've been revved on once or twice in the Integra.
I was completely ignored in the old GTi.
To be frank, I don't even acknowledge the other guy. If he's too dumb or egotistical to not see the dangers in racing on the public road, let him suffer at the hands of law enforcement.

Hah, the other day someone was pulling stuff like that on my buddy, and they tried racing, and the punched it just in time for a cop to pull them over...
buddy drove by continuing the speed limit laughing.
by the way, Dave, that avatar IS Hunter S. Thompson, right?
Kinda comical that you're very into not breaking the law with a pic with someone like him, hahaha. Just an observation. :P

I cruised up along side him and looked over and he keeps popping his throttle so I could hear his BOV. The 240 looked good, I was not going to even attempt it. Regardless of what kind of car was trying to punk me, I had my daughter in the car. Once he saw I wasn't down, he spotted an S2000 that looked pretty dope and he went after it looking for a race, not to condone freeway racing, but homeboy in the 240 got lit up, the S2000 pulled away from him like he was standing still. Not sure what exactly the s2000 had, but it didn't back down. So now I am beginning to think the 240 was un-tuned, or he had one of those BOV horns that hooks up to your battery and engages at a certain RPM. What a dissapoint for the 240 all that bark and no bite.

I have an Integra 1995 GSR, my only mods are DC headers and Intake... i'm not the racer type. I bought my car and the guy had a carbon fiber hood on it... it's sad how people with Integras and Civics drive beside me and rev their engines while we're on the freeway. I just smile and pass my 2 year old son a mental high five. I'm not gonna race those morons because we have the same car, they're pretty funny though I must say.

By the way the 240 is the only car that I've seen that looks nice with the canister exhaust thats turned sideways.

I get messed with by everything, 240's, corvettes, trucks, minivans, yuppies in their new bently rip off cheve's. Whenever anyone revs on me, I hold up a $100 bill or more, and I say O.K. how much you got.....and they back off.
