Those with a commuter car and a sports car, are you treated differently when daily driving between the two?

I drive a lot for my work. I have two cars, one is a commuter the other is for recreational and track use. I own a second gen Prius with 120k+ miles and a supercharged FR-S. Before the FR-S, I had an 06 WRX that made approx 350 at the wheels. In daily driving to and from where I need to be for work, I find that I am cut off, tail gated, and honked at way more in the Prius than I was in the FR-S or the WRX I used to have.

I have corroborated similar stories from two buddies of mine who have commuter cars and a weekend sports car for track or recreational use. One buddy I know has a '13 Mustang GT and a mid 90's beat up Civic he commutes in and another buddy drives a turbocharged 350z and daily drives an old Corolla. For the most part we agree that for daily driving in medium to heavy traffic we drive the sports cars and commuter cars the same and rather mild mannerly. In the commuter cars we all agreed that we are cut off, tail gated, and generally harassed more often.

Those who have a commuter and a sports car, do you have similar stories or feelings when driving your vehicles?
