Why would you even try and race a car you know you can't win against. You can always ignore ppl you know.

"completely obliterates me" is saying he was trying to race the other car. If you know you're out ranked, just hang back after the green light and drive normal.
The other guy will know you're not racing, and he'll be way ahead leaving you out of camera range.

I wasn't exactly trying to race. I came up to a green light next to them, and the cameras started to roll. They revved the engine once, and I knew I had no chance. I didn't try to race them, but just the fact that they did it anyway was what got me so uptight to begin with

I think this was said before, but its just insecure people trying to stroke their egos, get over it, its bound to happen again.

Just remember no matter HOW fast your are, there is always someone faster, once you/they learn that, its a whole different ball game
