why is it that every goof in a new challenger wants to race me?

I had a guy in a new Challenger come up to me at a light, and want to race, normally i dont street race, but the strip of road ahead was 4 lane with out any sidestreets or entry/exits.

The side of the car said hemi on it, but the light turned green and after 2nd gear it wasnt a race anymore. Same guy, saw me at the store a few days later and stopped to talk. He wished he hadnt bought the car.
