Women turned on by exotics

[Dasfinc]

Moreso than men :smile:

A study commissioned by giggle-inducing British insurer Hiscox has proven than women, more than men, are seriously aroused by the sound of an exotic supercar. The "scientist" behind the test had 40 women and 40 men listen to the sounds of a Maserati, Lamborghini, Ferrari and Volkswagen Polo. Afterwards, he tested their saliva for enhanced hormone levels corresponding to arousal. Sure enough, while both sexes got randy from the snarl of an exotic car it was the women who were most moved. And the little Polo?
Individuals had less testosterone after listening to the diminutive VW, meaning it actually turned them off. Women were more drawn to the gentler tones of the Maserati and men, not surprisingly, preferred the register of a Lamborghini. What does this have to do with Hiscox insurance? Almost nothing. But this may explain why we like making "vroom vroom" sounds while making whoopee.

MOST women distinguish a car by its color, if they're 2 different cars of the same color...they might as well be the same car.

hmmm my wife spots cars all the time. sometimes she comes home with a cell phone pic of a chevelle she saw or what not....and yes she knows the names 99% of the time.

 

[syP]

[Bob Kazamakis]

MUSTANG BANTER, YOU'VE BEEN WARNED:

I have to admit, Mustangs sound 999999999X better than my B18 Civic, and about a million times less annoying.

this thread is about real sports cars, not mustangs.

It's rare to friend a woman who's in to cars or at least appreciates them let alone put up with me drooling over cars. Good thing I have a g/f who loves cars.

When i met my wife she knew nothing, but ive been training her. When we first met I picked her up for lunch in a 01 911 and taught her what 0-100 feels like and she has been hooked ever since. She can now tell at least the make and model of most muscle cars. Can actually tell the difference between a 65 and 67 Vette, which i bet most of us cant. Now i just need to teach her how to DRIVE cars.

Should probably leave the GP's out of it then too

the SHO was often mistaken for sounding like an exotic.

never brought them into this. the simple fact they are not. FWD, shitty exhaust sound, heavy, and did i mention FWD?
the mustang is also heavy, slow, and has a live rear axle instead of IRS. 300HP is underpowered by today's standards too. honda, nissan, and GM are getting 300 out of their 6 cylinders.

anyway, fordisgay post ended.

hp isn't everything, you own a GTP, you of all people should know that... Torque is King with heavy cars.

The mustang is on the heavy side, but is hardly 'slow' and the solid rear end helps it get down a straight line just fine. You want a handling mustang, you can buy one with IRS. (ala Cobra's/Shelbys) so that point is moot.

Back on topic. Anyone else heard a Veyron in person? I heard one ONCE driving by me on Butterflied, sounded like a jet-plane.

 

[Bob Kazamakis]

i wish.

Bi8a/bs sound like asshole compared to a c1 and especially a c5. Mustangs sound very sexy, but then again the Hyundai Genesis sounds even sexier .

 

[IDAFC21]

hmm.. . this is interesting news. perhaps i'll leave my X pipe on the car then. gives the exhaust a more exotic tone than an H pipe does. i could tell a chick my cars a maserati, she wont know the difference

I didn't say that YOU brought up GP's I was just implying that the GP was being talked about just as much as the Mustang and thus should be excluded as well.

Ford is NOT gay, I am very heterosexual and i've only driven fords and anyways
