My wife drives a mini van, so she steals the F every chance she gets. I never have anyone try to race me and i don't notice a ton of looks, but she gets them alot and about every 5th time she goes out, someone tried to race her.
It got worse after the headers/Exhaust combo, lol.

Having been a part of car message boards for 15 years now, unfortunately we are all guilty until proven innocent. I've seen many, many female members get run off by immature "kids" with internet access. I left one board that I had been a part of for 8 years because the misogyny and racism became overwhelmingly bad. I'm happy to see that CL hasn't been anything close to that, but I don't have a problem with the gentle reminder being posted.

It's really a close race. Both cars do 0-60 in about 4.2 seconds at the dragstrip. Her car has a better higher stall so I get 1.7xx on street tires FULLY stock for 60' and I get 1.8xx on my F with reduced weight.

Quite honestly, a stock Superbee will beat a Stock IS-F at the 1/4. I ran it at 12.4@110 FULLY stock weight on a slightly cool day.

BUT, you can't take out weight in it. No spare and no engine covers. LOL They don't come with them!!

I knew I recognized your username from somewhere! I still go on that site from time to time. Looks like you made a great choice with the F btw

My girlfriend drives my IS-F regularly. Seems to get a lot of attention and various ricers pulling up next to her trying to race. I always have to reach over and push the sport button any time I'm trying to encourage her to do some spirited driving. lol.

I'd imagine you would be challenged regularly, especially driving a LFA! Nice choices in vehicles lady!

My wife doesn't like driving my F since I removed the cats and mufflers (too loud for her). She LOVES her Escalade (me, not so much). Now the GT-R, on the other hand...I had to hide the keys from her!

She's been my instructor on two different track weekends. She's talented in the left and right seats, and finally got me around the carousel at CMP quickly after struggling with it for two weekends.
