One of the things I've always wanted to do is to beat somebody in a street race. Well on my way to my friends on the HW is a Trans Am riding next to me. He rev's up and it actually sounded pretty good, so I ignore it and keep driving. He still goes at it trying to get me to race him. I'm still getting use to the six speed and plus another ticket is not what I need.
So I just end up taking an exit and let him go on.. I know he'll probably be talking sh** thinking he can beat me, but I'm pretty sure I could take him.
Am I in the right or wrong?
If you have an SRT you'd most likely beat a Trans Am without much drama. If you have an N/A you'd get spanked pretty hard.
4 points on the license and a recent accident...hmmm. Not to sound like a boring, responsible adult, but I think you did the right thing by ignoring the dude. Racing should be done on an empty road or a track. After all, it would be a shame to lose your license after buying such a spectacular car.
