Well, technically this is true. But the rule may not be observed by your challenger. In his eyes, he won dead to rights.
You lost... deal with it...

You did the right thing. Let him tell his buddies he kicked *** on a Corvette.

Good move not getting drawn into a street race. Not worth the potential danger.

Now you are gonna be on some Pontiac Bonneville website forum under "I owned a Corvette"
My Vette had been down for awhile and I just recently started driving it again. I had almost forgotten how you have to drive it differently because of all the knuckleheads that want to challenge you on the street. Had two drivers almost cause accidents because they pulled up beside me and got stupid.
Why is it I never see these guys at our local autocross events?
