How many cooks here, oops! I mean women
 have performance vehicles?I mean turbos, v8s, modified cars or anything not really the norm for women to drive. Bascially anything performance related. This thread was prompted due to a very persistant lady ringing me up wanting to buy my XR6T. Haggling and using every trick in the book. To be honest I was caught a little off guard as I never exepted a women to want to buy my car. I would love to hear what the ladies have to say. |

I'm no lady but dont let her feminine wilds sway you.
It's common for guys to get women to do their negotiating for them because women can be distraction. |

My wife wants a b series turbo utility despite me saying several times that its not a car that a woman would want, which I usually get told not to tell her what she wants because she knows already, seems a little strange considering all the cars you see girls/women driving every day (hyundai excel) etcettera.

My girlfriend currently drives *cough* a barina but would like something old school, like a mini or vw beetle, not really performance cars but its cool my gf likes classic not plastic!
P.S i am trying to get her into an early Falcon like an XR/XT, but finding one can be easier said than done

My wife always does the haggling - it's the part of buying a car that she likes. And she is the driver of the BF xr6t.

I will put my hand up as both a woman and a driver of performance cars. I currently divide my time between a BF Super Pursuit Ute and a Turbo Mini JCW.
Prior to owning Utey, I purchased a BA MK11 GT - this was my first introduction to Performance cars before that I only had "girls" cars. I have run laps at numerous tracks and my claim to fame is being only .03 second behing Lynton at QR - I must also point out that Lynton was driving a modified GT and I was driving a stocko SP.... Sorry honey - just pointing out the facts!  My 1/4 mile times were pretty reasonable too - certainly on par with the lads. I currently work for a world class driver training facilty and get paid good money to drive Porsche, Lotus etc So I guess you could say that I love my performance cars... certainly would never own a "boring" car ever again. I just don't do practical, conservative, appropriate cars... its not in my blood. Cheers, Tori
