Just make sure you do this in a private parking lot and you have the owner’s permission. May even want to have them present and the lot entrance blocked/roped off. Might want to inform the local authorities that this is going to take place, too. Otherwise, if they should happen to ride by and see someone “cuttin’ the fool” in some sports car in a parking lot, they may decide to pull in and give you a free ride downtown in the back of THEIR car.
This may take eating a lot of humble pie, but when someone challenges you on the street, ALWAYS act like there is no way your car could beat their car. Make humor out of the situation if they are verbally goading you. If it’s a ricer, tell them they will have to give you a head start and laugh. If it’s a Corvette it may be harder to do, but somehow find a way to laugh and wave it off. You will find your car is always more enjoyable if YOU are in control of when you get on it and when you let off. If you are seduced into a street race, then THEY are in control of your accelerator and brake pedal. Think about it.
