Corvette drivers are notorious for this!
POSERS!  |
The couple that lives in the house behind our house in our neighborhood custom ordered a new Corvette 10 years ago or so years back. He had seen my 911 many times and I invited him to the autocross. He did not want to drive, but it was in the era when fun runs were allowed. I took him for a lap and he was convinced we were going to die. I never push really hard with passengers, so it was all at 85% max.
He still talks about that crazy fast ride. Shortly after that I followed him to his sister's house to haul some piece of furniture in my El Camino. We never got within 5 MPH of the speed limit. 40 MPH roads were taken at 35 MPH. On the trip back I certainly knew the way home. I was back to his place and had the furniture un-strapped, and all the padding folded and was ready to unload before he pulled up. He is a super nice guy, but I never want to take a road trip with him.
