I don't give a crap.. I just let them in or move over and let them pass. Not worth the aggravation.

100% Agree with you!!
Another thing I noticed is when you are NOT driving "the beast" there is always an M or RS or P car or IS F or even another AMG that is showing off or dirty driving in front of you, but you have several passengers (kids, dogs, wife whatever) or you are just driving your DD and all you think is "C'mon man chill out, I also have a BEAST at home waiting to be unleashed, just take it easy"

Im sure most of us have had a POS car at some point in our lives. And I'm sure our need for speed didn't suddenly appear when we could afford faster cars. I've always driven more "enthusiastically" than most people even in my POS cars. Whenever I get passed, or even cut off and overtaken, I don't like it, but I probably wasn't paying enough attention not to get passed. Bottom line is if someone wants to go faster than me, whether in a piece of junk or a lambo, I move to the right. And if I'm in a hurry one day, I can stomp the gas of a 6.2L v8 and hopefully people in front will move over.

Trying to take such cars in heavy traffic may not be a very good idea because if they make a mistake and end up hitting your car or causing you to hit somebody else, they only lose a few hundred dollars, while your car would depreciate a few thousand easily....

i was just on my way home and there's this black 350z infront of me saw me in his rearview mirror so what he did was he downshifted and floors it (trying to say he wouldn't let me pass him)>.. i was like laughing wtf dude ur 350z is nothing so i press my shift mode button to M and downshifted to around 3k rpm and just passed him with a big smile.. also after i passed the 350z i was gonna make a pass on this grey 08 or 09 honda accord with a v6 badge driven by an old lady around 40's(she was driving regularly) and after she had noticed me coming up she did the same fkin thing as the 350z so i was like yeah what ever and smoked her too since i was already in M mode i don't even need to floor it there is so much torque in this engine, i love this car and i think its worth every penny.

i don't like to loose especially in our great amg's, it pisses me off if i just ignore these ricers evos sti 370/50z g35/7 rsx's trying to race with me or cut me off intentionally while i am in c63 that's some disrespect or jealousy.(if i ignore they will probably think that oh c63's don't dare to race my 350 or something lol) So i would just smoke them and gave myself a big smile on my face instead of getting myself feel uncomfortable. i don't know about you guys but i don't want to be a nice driver behind the wheels of this car and getting myself pissed off , there's a reason why i got a c63amg instead of some other luxury rides and until now this c63 is the fulfilling my driving experience.

In the grand scheme of things... who gives a f*@k? If I had a dollar for every time some doucher pulled up next to me doing something stupid, I could buy the HRE's I want. I've learned to ignore it. It comes with maturity. You will learn it eventually, too.

in my book having a better car doesn't count as winning cuz it does not gives me a smile on my face, although it may gives a smile on a girls face .

glad i wasn't the only one that is having this annoyance, i don't think i'm mature enough to stand ugly old a$- minivans trying to get ahead of me and blocks up my view with their ugly cars.

Phenomenal! You passed a car with half the horsepower and an old lady in an accord.

Personally I love the power of the c63 as well, but I don't get how some c63 owners think they deserve respect out of drivers of cheaper cars, or how other drivers are crazy to try to pass us in something lesser. Everyone knows a car can only be as good as it's driver, if Schumacher wanted to pass me in an sti (lesser car) on the highway in traffic, he probably would. if you really want to put a smile on your face, take it to a track and pass someone with a similar car. Maybe even something faster than yours.

I'm with you AMG88...I say F'em, and wait your turn on the road--I was here first!! And oh by the way, cut me off to be a dick and because I wasn't paying attention, you'll get a face load of C63 @ss as soon as I have the chance!

Survival of the fitest...if Man and Lion moved aside for a lesser beast, neither would be where it is today.

My attitude--if you decide it was worth it to cut me off, be prepared for my reaction--and you AREN'T going to like it!

Immature? No
Natural Selection? Yes

Cars = Egos...and if you say otherwise, you are lying. People don't buy an unnecessarily powerful $65K car just because they like the way it looks...BS!!!! You want to be able to uncork it everywhere!

No, it would come out again. I've test driven the c63 thoroughly. It's fun to drive no doubt, every second driving it puts a smile on any car enthusiasts face. But for me passing a lesser car isn't something I post on the internet when I get home. Passing an accord in a c63 is kind of like Usain Bolt outrunning me. Its kind of expected, probably wouldn't make him smile. I also understand that there are way nicer cars than the c63 on the road, so might as well stay humble to the ricers, is, 350z, sti out there. Like I said before, IMO passing, racing a car of similar or greater power is way more rewarding than overtaking an old lady in an accord.

Dangerous drivers are safer IN FRONT OF you. When they are behind me playing cat and mouse, I always worry about getting rear ended. Let them go...

not if these accords and 350z r trying to mess with the c63, they shouldn't even bother trying, they should just let me pass instead of trying to race me at all(i think an accord v6 can easily smoke a c230) .. i think you are on the other side of the pond right now since people didn't really care about c230 on the road. oh btw this is not my first high performance car, it's like my fifth.! so i got alot more racing story in my past if you wanna hear them lol..
