Me in my shitty Outlander Sport that I put a cherry bomb on 'cause why not?:
driving as normally would, popped into neutral at light just to rev it out a bit 'cause I like my wimpy 4 cyl growl. Paying absolutely zero attention to the vehicle behind me.
Camaro bro: immediately changes to other lane and aggressively short shifts up to next signal
Me: Okay? Not trying to race, my car thinks it has torque but it's slow af
Camaro bro: aggressively accelerates around vehicle in front of him and speeds on to next signal
Me: 👁 👄 👁 pulls up beside him at signal with music blasted
Camaro bro: drag race mode activated! oh -blam!-! red light 10 feet away, down shifts while aggressively rev matching
Me: noticeably shrugging while pulling up beside him at signal with music blasted. Pretends to get ready to race him only to turn indicator on and turn into gas station driveway
Like, why? A stock 'Maro is making like what? 300 hp or close to it? Meanwhile I, in the much heavier vehicle am making an estimated 127 IIrc. Why so intimidated by my crappy 4 cyl compact suv?

That's easy. It was a Camaro. As a car guy I've seen about every aspect of how certain drivers of certain models pilot their vehicles. Most muscle car owners are accustomed to every would be racer out there pulling up along side at the stop light and initiating the challenge. The majority of the muscle car owners will either totally ignore the challenge, because they aren't going to waste the gas on something that isn't going to be close, or they're simply not inclined to have to show off. Then there are those who always have to make sure everybody knows that they think they have the fastest car on the street, and make a point of being a -blam!-. Today though it's the 30 somethings in their 48" lifted, coal rollers that seem to be the most aggressive drivers. Everything is beneath them whether starting at a light or out on the street let alone the highway. They will run over you just because they have no concern for anyone else on the road.
