I always experience a race attitude and I drive a big Bronco. Say if I stop at a light and a couple hundred yards up the road a lane ends, I like to be in front so when the light turns green I punch it. Well the guy (or girl) sees this as a challenge and punches it too. Usually it ends up neck to neck in a merge. What I have found is this: If I don't pull all the way up beside them but hang back about a half a car length, people stop sensing a challenge and I always get the jump on them. By the time they realize I punched it, then I'm already a good car length on them and they don't bother. I think it's funny.
Otherwise if someone gets goofy because they are challenging me, I just them burn their gas up. My Bronco makes about the worst race car on the road.

I know all about those ricer flyby's. I have a Bronco II with 2.9 and Flowmasters with hollowed cat, and it's loud, so they hear me take off they decide it's a challenge and they get a head of me, only because I let them. Then they back off, so then I punch it and fly by them but slow down to the speed limit, and then it sounds like I'm getting attacked by a bee and then they fly-by. Best memory of this was last weekend, and he flew by me probably doing 70 in a 45 and there was a cop there. Hehehe, there was some pretty flashing colored lights after him.
