If you drive like a racer, u get more races, but to single our car out is ridiculous. My 2 cents.
That didnt make any sence

It happened to me the first day I got my 6MT!! that night I took it out for a spin and a Pontiac GTO (6.0 V8 400hp BEAST!!!) pulled up next to me at a light. he looks at me, light turns green....floors the hell outta that thing meanwhile I'm pampering my G going through the gears slowly. we get to the next light and of course it's RED! I look at him and smile which I think pissed him off....light goes green he screeches his tires for about 15 feet. I take off slowly again and come to ANOTHER RED LIGHT!!! this time he didn't even bother to look over at my nice smile
lights turns green and he makes a right turn!! can you say handjob????

It happens. Ofcourse it also happens to any other car out there, especially the "fast" looking ones.

I also get harrassed with my WRX sometimes, I just ignore them and never did any street racing. Street racing is illegal and dangerous for everyone else on the road. And personnally, I think that going very fast in a straight line is pointless. If you race them, you're as dumb as they are.

Actually, you think it makes no sense because you can't read at the high school level. Go read some books and newspapers, and then come back to this thread and read it again. You'll see the rampant "my parents are sooooooooo rich" conceit and arrogance. I'm not saying your posts display this sort of idiocy, but you should be able to see it for what it is.

They are just experiances. i can see if it was us bragging about how we beat other cars or how ours are better.
Then it would be concieted.

Vix..due to the Aerodynamic Shape of the G which was developed within a Wind Tunnel at your local Super Secret Skunk Works Facility...on the road it looks like it going @ a Super Ridiculous Speed to the un educated individual. Not only while on the road..park at any local parking lots..the untrained eye would lead to belive the G to be flying at Hyper Speed. Thus in conclusion, the G will always be a G...one heck of a good looking car.

Following this very simple rule will eliminate, or at least significantly reduce, the behavior that you've complained about. Why not give it a try some time?

"The driver of a vehicle overtaking another vehicle or a bicycle proceeding in the same direction shall pass to the left at a safe distance without interfering with the safe operation of the overtaken vehicle or bicycle, subject to the limitations and exceptions hereinafter stated."
and in section 21659:
"Upon a roadway which is divided into three lanes a vehicle shall not be driven in the extreme left lane at any time, nor in the center lane except when overtaking and passing another vehicle where the roadway ahead is clearly visible and the center lane is clear of traffic within a safe distance..."
And section 21654(a):
"Notwithstanding the prima facie speed limits, any vehicle proceeding upon a highway at a speed less than the normal speed of traffic moving in the same direction at such time shall be driven in the right-hand lane for traffic or as close as practicable to the right-hand edge or curb, except when overtaking and passing another vehicle proceeding in the same direction or when preparing for a left turn at an intersection or into a private road or driveway. "
and there's more references to the "stay right except to pass" concept but I think you get the point
I'm not the one who's frustrated here. The gentleman who started this post is frustrated with the way he is being treated on the road. I belive I've offered some advice as to how he can reduce, not only the frustration that he is feeling but also, the frustration of those around him who are familiar with the laws and courtesies of driving on public roads.
