GF's and Evos

Ok. So my girlfriend has been getting a little excited about driving the car, but she just doesn't want to drive it, she wants to gun it and have fun.
How many of you guys have had this experience and didn't have a problem? or addiction?

i let mine drag mine once, just set the two step at 4000, she was doing 14.0 but her shifts were horrible, not wincing horrible but like granny horrible, she was trapping 110, really funny. Just told her to pin throttle, i activated the NLTS, which i think was the problem, the cut between shifts was freaking her out. I figure if I have not hurt my car she would not.

Ive let my girlfriend drive my evo but i made sure she actually knew how to drive a standard. She'd give it little boosts here and there but nothing to dramatic. just seeing her drive my evo is a turn on Lol.

My fiance has driven my car multiple times. She loves keeping the windows up and then racing some guy and when she beats them she rolls her window down so they know she lost to a girl. LOL I trust my girl though

I have to teach my girl how to drive stick.

I think as someone else mentioned, it's such a turn on to see my girl driving my Evo - when she does one day. I better not ever see curb rash tho... god I would be soooooooo pissed !

My wife drives mine sometimes. She's scared to race it though. She does enjoy boost, but never goes full throttle. I wouldn't really care if she did ... she's still scared of it though.

I actually had to convince my gf to take a drive in the Evo. At first she was scared she'd break something, but I trust her and know she'll drive safe.

If you don't trust yours, and know she only wants to "gun it," suggest to her she get her own car and take it to a track.

Ok how about this why dont both of you go to a racing class/school for half of day they will teach you how to do almost anything. And it dont cost that much either. Trust me once you learn how to drive on a track it transfers over to everyday driving your level of awareness on the road increases. Plus you learn whats possible and isnt possible. Im going to save up so i can do a whole weekend worth of training.
