Does your GF/wife or significant other drive the zl1 - Page 3

Nope, she doesnt do manual trans. Plus when she rides it my car, she complains it hurts her neck due to the G forces she exposed to somehow?

I feel your pain. My wife is the same way.

I should add that my wife does know how to drive a stick although she doesn't do it often anymore and she loves to "ride bitch" in it. I think she's scurd of that 650 /650.

she can drive it anytime she'd like...i find it sexy as heck...

SoCal Smith · 04-16-2018, 11:09 AM

Anytime she wants to! (It's just a car) I think its actually pretty cute when I see her driving it.

In the back of my mind; I am envisioning when someone pulls up next to her and has to do a double take seeing a tiny asian girl driving this beast!

My GF asks to drive it every once and a while. She doesn't enjoy going fast or pushing the car, she just likes to rev it and make noise. I like watching the reactions of people when they see a 5.1 ft girl hammering the car under tunnels. Lol.

I always have her back the car into parking spots because if I didn't, I probably wouldn't have a splitter left. I had a ACS front splitter on my 2SS that I had to replace twice due to her driving.

I'd let her drive it if she wanted to, hasn't come up yet.

She can't drive a stick, which was a small factor in the A10 decision but ultimately that was my choice due to the fact the A10 is quicker.

IF she does drive she knows to put it in Snow/Ice mode - I've convinced her that the power is not something you want to take lightly.

Only when I have to borrow her truck for something. She can drive stick, and has actually raced me while I'm driving the '69, was fun !

Michael52 · 04-16-2018, 03:39 PM

Whenever she wants to... but she really loves her Mustang GT !!!

Lafourche1 · 04-16-2018, 03:44 PM

One of the reasons for the A10 is so that my better-half will drive it some. We both grew up on farms and she had no problems with the 6060 in the SS. However, the automatic makes it easier on her in traffic.

Zings_Maro · 04-16-2018, 04:40 PM

No because she’s afraid of getting pulled over for my exhaust lol

Gunkk · 04-16-2018, 05:03 PM

Yes. She loves the torque and top end hp 60+

Parking and pulling into and out of the garage... not so much.

Biscuit.fr · 04-16-2018, 06:48 PM

Mine is waiting to race it....
As I do!
And we will compare the PDRs...

Ray_Dogg · 04-16-2018, 07:20 PM

No and I doubt she ever will. She hates riding shotgun. Too scared.
