Yes, I've had quite a few quick cars, but this one is a little too much for her. It makes her stomach turn like a roller coaster. That's a screen shot from a video I took with my Go Pro of a second gear pull.

She's still smiling about it regardless. Must have an inner speed demon.

Love it! My wife still has to go for a drive with me. The GTI makes her kinda sick at WOT, so curious to see how she'll deal with the 996 . I think it's torque that gets her. 280 vs. 400 hmm

yep can't take mine in the speed yellow coupe, i don't even want to as she just hates it. Stock vert is the only compromise and when i get on boost in that even (+100) she gives me grief. haha

My wife will ride in the car no problem, but I know better than to even roll into the boost.
My daughters on the other hand have been riding in my cars all their lives, I'm sure they are a bit jaded by WOT now.
