If you have a Z06 then it's a drivers game. If not then he most likely gets your two hundred bucks.

If you have a standard 'vette you don't really have much chance, unless you can get a NOS kit and a good tune prior to the race.  If you have a Z06 and he's not a better driver than you it is a toss-up: the ZO6 is a bit faster: will win about 60 out of 100 races but that's hardly a sure thing

Tell him you won't waste your time, and besides,
ya don't really need the $200.
Walk away and leave him wondering.
Ya just beat him mentally, you saved on gas, and ya still have your $200.

Id take that bet and LOOSE just to prove that I was a man. Most competitioin sports takes ONE ball. Racing takes TWO!

SNAKE Kill that be-damned snake! Im behind you 110% even "if" you get your @$$ smoked.

Oh we lost 200 dollars **hiccup** .....to a lame viper....feel pretty good cuz we still took a risk

Wow,  different world you live in.  I cannot recall ever accepting a race I was certain I would lose and I don't see how taking a challenge you know you will lose makes you any more or less of a ma" (or woman).  Throwing away even just $200 seems to me to prove nothing more than that cliche adage, "A fool and his money are soon parted."

 Just send me the $200.  I'm sure I can find a use for it on the "Starship".
Better on a ratty ol' Vette, than a "Clown Shoe".

Good idea.  Goes to a good cause, too.
