Default Wife Is Racing My Z

She is out at the track to a mustang bullitt and mach 1 shootout. Her first time to ever to race much less race my Z. She is having an absolute blast. At least one of us can have some fun, I am out on a well site. Said she kicked a Mach her first time and so far has run a best of 12.91 at 110. I think I UNLEASHED A MONSTER...

haha.. Very nice!! Wish more women were into racing..

Your going to have it sooooo easy modding your Z06 if you wanted too.. She'd probibly be all for it if it meant her going faster down the track.

.. have fun at the track!

Just talked to her again, her final run the traction control kicked in, stalled the car, she restarted and ran a 113 trap on a 16sec 1/4. Now I know I made a monster cause she wants me to get the slicks and take her to the track more...LMAO

Oh the webs we weave

She thinks they have video of it all. If so I will post after I get back from this rig.

She never complained really about anything I have done, but youre right, this did make it even easier.

Nice looking Z, makes me wish I went with my original plan and got one now Thats sweet that the old lady can race the ride, mine likes speed to however when I am driving though. I wouldn't let her drive it ever, well ok MAYBE just once if I was in it with her but not down the track, LOL

Ive never been on the "track" with it. Has all you usual boltons with a 250 2stage bump of gas, exoskel clutch and a few other things. I do more roadracing than drag but have a set of slicks ordered now so she can play.

Nice. Your brave! I just let the woman take my car out for the first time saturday. It was kinda nerve wrecking, but she drove it really good. Nice times, dang 2.2 60' definatly needs a set of slicks haha.
