Well yesterday was a first for me, my wife very rarely drives in my car let alone drive it herself, in 4 1/2 years she has been in my car once or maybe twice a year. Yesterday was an exception, her car went into the shop for a major repair. So it ends up she had to take my car to work which is about a 30 mile round trip and it was her first experience with a supercharged car. I worried all day about it and when she came home she promptly took some Advil and when I asked her what was wrong she said she was in pain from her neck snapping from the transmission shifting. She then said she can't drive it any more because she didnt like the way the car was rumbling and the way the throttle was making the car lurch and demanded that I fix the problems if i wanted her to get behind the wheel again. She also stated that she can't believe I would want to drive the car like that, after chuckling a bit I said maybe its a good idea that you stay out of my car and she agreed and said I must be crazy to like a car like that. :hah:

Some people just can't appreciate all those things that make a muscle car fun to drive. It could have been worse for her Alan, you could still have the Superbird and she could have driven that to work LOL.

It got better Jon, when I dropped her off to get her car I punched it in 1st gear and ran it thru 2nd gear to let her know what boost was and you should have seen the reaction that got.

Alan, I don't know what to say??? That is a funny story. From a woman's perspective, in my case you might not want me to drive it because I would have driven it like I stole it! At least you let her drive it, some guys, I am not so sure they would have!

The ONLY way to fix it properly is to get a forged 426 in it Alan. Boost capable of course.

My wife drives mine a few times a year. She drove it last week, when I came home "she asked if there was any way to make it go a little faster?". I asked her how much money will you allow me to spend?

Simple and cheap fix, just put a neck pillow and ear plugs in it for her next time she drives it, bet she smiles after the next drive.
