Anyone ever notice other 07 owners driving habits?

All i gotta say is that at least 90 something percent of all the 07' owners that i see on the highway usually want to race me and almost all of them are sports.

Now im not talking about races i had with them, im just referring to always seeing a 07' dip around on the highway, or if im in a lane i always see one coming from behind and just zoom past me! What im trying to get is that everyone that owns this car can not help the fact that they want to go fast. This morning im on the highway and a i see one coming on from the ramp. I kept my eye on him in the rearview and just saw him take off from the on ramp and catch up to me, after he caught up he was just trying to get next to me. I was like dam he got on pretty quick. So then i changed lanes and let me him go........to much traffic............ if not there could have been a quick sprint

Yeah, I dont think I have been on the same road in the same direction within striking distance of one yet. I will be curious to see how mine reacts when it sees one in the wild. It does tend to get a little jumpy when it sees a cousin M on the highway... I have noticed this behavior already.

I have seen only 3 since I bought my 07 G two weeks ago. Two were X and other was Journey.

I have had several Gen 1 Gs come up for a sniff though Had to lay off the gas as I haven't gotten past the break in period.

Dont see a lot of them here, wouldnt be surprise to see insurance go up for these cars. Racing on public roads is stupid and especialy on straight line, take it to the racing track and see how fast they can go in tight turns.

i've seen two on the road going the same direction as me, both were driven by fairly old folks, and as you might guess, were going quite slow over in the right lane.

I'll often speed up a bit to get beside another 07 and say hi. I'm very curiosity to learn who else is driving an 07 in Calgary, and I always wonder if they post on driver or not.

For some reason down here in SFlorida most of the 07 drivers i have seen really get on the gas. I saw a couple as dealer loaners and the people driving them really broke them in.

Lol. I've seen maybe 3 or 4 on the freeway and so far everyon'e just taking it easy. They've all had dealer plates still on so maybe they're too new to race.

I have seen at least one 07 almost daily for the last month.
The only one I have seen accelerating quickly or speeding was one, and that was the 07 I was test driving!

Haven't experienced that yet. I've only seen three on the road since I got mine in early Dec.
