I normally put pesky people like that into the insect category. You either just swat them or shoo them away. I guess some people ignore them which works sometimes.
It kills me when people become instant experts about everything in the world, but especially a car they have never even driven. He should drive an M3. A very quick car. Practically on rails. Matter of fact tell him you know of several people with lowly 944 4 cyl turbos that will walk on his car in every category, including straight line, skid pad, braking, or whatever hands down. That should get his blood pressure up.

Reminds me of an old joke....
A mouse is walking thru the jungle, when he hears cries for help from an elephant that has fallen into a trap.
The mouse peers down at the elephant. The elephant pleads with the mouse to help him, before the hunters come and kill him for his tusks.
The mouse runs home - get his CORVETTE - drives to the elephant and pulls him out with a rope tied to the 'vette.
The elephant is very thankful - and promises to return the favor.
Sure enough, a few weeks later, as the elephant is walking thru the woods, he hears cries for help from the mouse.
After heavy rains, the mouse has fallen into a deep & muddy elephant footprint, and is at risk of drowning.
The elephant tells the mouse not to worry. He straddles the mouse's predicament - allowing his 'manhood' (ummm - elephanthood??) to drop down - allowing the mouse to climb it to safety.
The moral of the story....If you have a big enough 'manhood' - you don't need no stinking Corvette!

... and when the day comes to an end. It is still a Chevy
There is a saying in Germany that fits pretty well: Dogs that bark, don't bite.
Just buy experience: I had the "honhor" 3 years ago to drive a friend's 1990 Corvette convertible. Very nice accelleration, but the handling and the quality of the car just doesn't compare to a Porsche. I was asked after the ride what I think and I said: "I will keep my 944 S2, it is just BETTER"
