My girlfriend bought herself a brand new 2004 Neon 5-speed back in late 2003.
When she bought the car she had never driven a manual transmission before.
Her mom and I kept trying to teach her how to drive the car, but no matter how
hard we tried to teach her she just couldn't get it. We were going to have to take the car back to the dealership and trade it in for an automatic. She kept practicing and in less than 1 week she was rowing the little neon pretty good! She drove it for awhile and got used to it. One day, she begged me to let her drive my old LT1 car with the SPEC 4 clutch. Believe it or not, she did just fine! She could row through the gears just as good as me! I eventually sold that car and bought my current LS1 car. I let her drive it when it was lid and catback only. And of course, she did fine. Now that I have some mods and the Ram Powergrip HD clutch she does excellent too.
I particularly don't like her to drive my cars, but she does just fine and can really row thru the gears. I just don't want her to show me up

Since I became owner, the only person other than me to drive it was my brother. Since he accompanied me when I went to purchase it, I let him drive it back to my place. An acquaintance may get to drive it if I end up using his help when I do some work on the car. He’s a car guy. I do not envision letting anyone else besides this guy and my brother drive it.

I have two best friends that I have known almost my entire life and are like brothers to me. They have both been around 'muscle cars' all their lives. I have let both them drive my car and encourage them to get on it.
I tried to get my girlfriend to drive my Z/28 when it was stock so she could learn to drive a manual. She was always scared and after the 4.10s and spec3 clutch I stopped trying to get her to learn. I don't think I would trust her with my SS...especially since she has NEVER driven a manual car at this point.

im contemplating wether or not to let my g/f drive my car. shes been at me about it for a while now saying "i wanna drive the ss" so ive been easing her into it by letting her shift while i drive and so far so good. shes drives a 1.8 litre 5 spd man lancer and is fairly rough with the changes so that worrys me. i still remember when she said it wasnt that fast 
i took her out to some back roads launched from a stand still and launched hard to 200 clicks
she never said that again. now she just hates the high flow noise on back off

My first car was a muscle car, my second was one and my third was one. I have never owned a "regular" car hehe. I would say that most girls aren't used to it but I personally love it and wouldn't give up the muscle for anything.
I think most women don't care what engine they have, it's just the name of the car like the mustang. I see many women flying around me in those v6 mustangs with their convertible tops down thinking the own some serious power. I sometimes have to put them in their place.
And by the way I wouldn't let my boyfriend drive my car, no one touches my car.
