Oh this is going to be a hot thread!!!
My opinion? Yes, you are being unreasonable. She cannot possibly understand the absurd lengths those of us on this board go to to keep our Pcars out of danger. What she understands is that it is an (expensive) car that is meant to be driven. And she may also covet the thought of driving around in a Porsche, God bless her.
I would apologize, with flowers, and let her in on your psyche: how you love the car, the wrenching on it, how it de-stresses you, how you love the feel and power. You must make her understand the power it has on you, and how, for ONE SECOND you let that power overcome the more important power of the love between you two. She will love you for your honesty, your anxiety, your childlike infatuation, and mostly your apology, which in and of itself speaks volumes about modesty, morals, and responsibility.
My opinion only, but you have made a mistake that you might be able to leverage into a very positive result.
