My favorite thing to do when challenged . . ; Point and laugh.
If you can get your passenger to laugh too, it really get under their skin.
Works every time. Totally deflates their boner to race, now they gotta go find a kid in a Honda to redeam themselves.

I am always faced with the kids that drive the likes of Civics and other modified cars and trucks try to race me. It really does get annoying since I am just enjoying myself driving my 8. I get such a pleasure from driving my 8 that I don't care about what others are doing on the road as long as they don't drive wrecklessly or dangerous. It just seems that other guys with modified cars and even the 350Z guys aren't satisfied driving their own car and always have to race against someone to prove how wonderful their cars are. I am really glad that either I have out grown that stage, or my car feels wonderful enough for me to ingnore the idiots who pull up next to me to test my car.

I remember this one time, I was coming back from a Snow RallyX. A supremely riced out Integra (with Altezza lights and a huge 4" fart can and ricer wings) was in a left turn lane. I was going straight. I drove past him, and as I was doing so, put my clutch in, and revved my engine to 9000rpm. Backfire ensues, with flames shooting out my tail pipes.
That was the best lulz ever.

Another way to humiliate them.....
I just carry a ridiculously large wad of cash and when somebody tries to race me I flash the cash. They then realize they are out of their league on many fronts.

Lemme ask this...
Since we're on the subject of racing; have you guys seen the episode of "Pinks:All Out" that was shot at Milan Dragway? If so, did you happen to take a listen to what Nate, Charles, and Rich had to say about the cars they were seeing that day? That whole crowd of racers who participated that day are the same cats I ran the streets with when I was as heavily into the domestic/old school muscles as I am the RX-8/import scene now. The thing is that I share the attitude those racers have and that's why, here in the Detroit area, I still tend to hang with them and often times am one of three(now two) import drivers in the mix.
It is also that same attitude and pride for detail and set-up that P2/BHR is trying to bring along to the RX-8 world. Just thought I'd share that for a minute. Thx.

The best way to handle these folks is to just wave them off, let them know you aren't going to run, tell them you're being safe, and go about your day.
If you **** them off and get the rage going, the pea brains aren't capable of handling it, and they'll go out and try 10 times harder to find some other person to race, and end up killing an innocent family in an SUV.
You guys that get the last word with the 'tards, get them all lathered up so they race off in a frenzy, are doing a disservice for the rest of us.

I usually act like i'm going to race. Rev the **** out of my car, bounce it off the limiter a few times. Act like i'm toggling switches somewhere in the cockpit. Get all pumped, grip the wheel tight.
Then when the light changes, accelerate very peacefully like everyone else, and let the douchebag go peeling out into traffic.

Man, I grew up street racing. It was pretty big at one time. But we usually went to deserted road in the wee hours of the night. Not in traffic. And to be honest for every five minutes of racing there was usually 5 hours of smack talking.
Hey, I guess at one time smoking was cool too.
But yeah, the weaving around in traffic is just asking for someone to get hurt.
