If it truly was a "carload" in that Corolla, he wasn't going anywhere very fast unless he stuffed an LS3 motor in there. The average knuckle dragger weighs 200 lbs plus these days and 600 extra lbs of passenger will wipe out most or all hp advantage. No reason to embarrass the lad in front of his friends by showing him your tail lights.

JD, I am sure they just wanted to have a drag race between you and their hopped-up Corolla. Who cares? Drag racing is beneath you and the car so the best response is, as has already been suggested, to shake your head and laugh at their preposterous proposal (and their stupid car)!
