    Street Race Magnet

    So I've had probably 20+ "performance" cars over the last 15 years and have very rarely ever got challenged on the street. I've had everything from big tire Hot Rods, newer Mustangs, 60s Muscle Cars, and everything in between and maybe have 1 guy a summer who wants to stretch their legs.

    Well a few weeks back, I picked up this built SS Camaro and I honestly have not driven it one time without someone wanting to race. Not sure if it's the color, sound, or what, but it has been an absolute magnet for some highway roll racing. Not sure if that's good or bad?! I've had everything from your standard riced out imports, diesel trucks, a new SRT Challenger, 69 Camaro, and a few others want to run. Luckily for me, the car runs out pretty well so I haven't gotten the short end of the stick just yet.

    Had a white Z28 a few years back and got no action... This is the first bright red car I've had, feel like this color has something to do with it.

    Def the red. I never get any love in my car (gray)

    If it looks good, you'll see it. If it sounds good, you'll hear it. If it's marketed right, you'll buy it. But if it's real, you'll feel it. IG: @donuttrump

    Has to be the red, because I never get any nibbles from cars wanting to race me in my Silver SS. : (

    Three red mustangs and a red truck. Yes, it's the RED!

    And, grandma driving the Dodge Caravan with 3 kids not in car seats are bouncing up and down licking the windows screaming at you... and you pull away from the light at 1,250rpms... in 2nd. she gets pissed. You can smell the catalytic converter getting blowed out like it hasn't been in months when she roars away at Mach 7.
