Is this happened to you driving coupe?
After first 3k miles on my coupe I am noticing:
- Lots of time people trying to race me without reason, on highway or traffic lights changed to green. Especially happened with underpowered BMW models like 325/328 or Acura TL. What is going on with this slugs?
- It is very easy to drive over speed limit and tough under 
- Police taking closer looks on coupes somehow especially in NJ
- Smaller cabin in coupe causing more troubles for big driver with blind spots

Yes
Sometimes, sometimes it's the opposite (nice just tooling along knowing what I have and the confidence not to have to use it)
No, blew past a trap doing at least 80 northbound on RT 85 in VA. Was expecting to get pulled over, didn't happen.
Yeah, big blind spot trying to look out the back/side when turning my head. Headrest to back window is blind, have to make good use of the mirrors. Can't sit with my butt fully seated in the back of the seat as my head hits the roof (6'3" 225). Don't care though!

- not anymore
- no
- not really, but there was one time when I got pulled over for allegedly doing 30km/h over the limit which was a complete lie (refer to #2) and the cop couldn't show me the speed on his radar gun so he had to let me go.
- no, but all my friends have trouble in the back.

2) i try to dry at 55mph all the time b/c it's the most fuel efficient w/respect to drag. even in 25mph zones.
3) i like to tailgate police cars and pretend im looking up their license plates.
4) i agree with the blind spots. i leave my blinkers on for this reason so drivers know to keep away from my blind spots.
