She might be pleased with rims and dual exhaust.

A 5-speed will be about as fast as your car is. They are cheap with low miles too.
Thing is as your car grows so can hers. Like say you decide to put Trick Flow heads and intake on yours, you can take your old parts and put them on hers. Would work out pretty good.

Hell no. Screw the v6. Get her the V8 and dont worry about it. My wife loves my car, but shes a bit scared of it. I don't think shes floored it yet, but I hope she will soon.

Girls arent like idiot guys, they are far less likely to drive like retards and have something bad happen.

You haven't riden with my ex-wife or have you. Logic would tell you that girls would drive more sensible and statistics do seem to back it up. However, I see women putting on makeup, pucking thier eyebrows while they are driving. That's not to say that men don't do stupid things while drving. There are plenty of women who appriciate a fast and powerful car. There's a girl at my gym who drives a later model Monte Carlo that's supercharged from the factory. I believe it's the same 3.8 litre that GM used in the Grand Prix GTP. I asked her about her car yesterday and her eyes lit up. To top it all off, she's hot! Pearl02.

An npi 4.6 is a lot slower than your car even with a stick. Have her test drive one and then decide.

haha same here. My wife loved to drive my old gt. Just because it was loud and she could revv and scare people. But I do not think she ever got it, just to scary.....wanna talk about scary....I was a little scared the first time she took my new blown car out alone, but she loved it. But as stated, she is scared of it and has yet to get on it.

I say get her a decent gt and she will be happy. Hey, I think as long as it sounds good, thats what they like!
