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.
Probably a bit much to tell people how they should drive their cobras. Knowing how your car handles and exercising good judgment reins supreme - the common theme in responses here. That's not to say that if some smart ass is deserving of a spanking, and road conditions/traffic permit it, you shouldn't give him one. Just be responsible about it, aware of your surroundings and risks, before answering the call.
