I didn't even put her through a few corners. Only gave it a squirt in a straight line and that was enough for her. She reckons her back has never been the same since from the g forces generated during that short blast and likened it to the sensation you get in a commercial jet during takeoff.
While I'm talking about G Forces, it is alleged that Carrol Shelby had a $100 note stuck onto the passengers side dash in his twin supercharged 427 side oiler. Apparently, if you could remove that note from the dash during acceleration, it was yours.
My wife definitely won't drive it and has vowed never to get in it again.
Your right Rob. It is a monster, that's the car I'm talking about. Can't wait to put my Comp Roller Cam and a good set of springs in. That will ensure a peaceful solo drive every time I take it out.
On the other side of the coin, my 36 year old intellectually handicapped daughter Louise, loves every bit of it, especially the sound and the torque.
