Oh jesus something was wrong it chirped every time she let off the clutch.  Probibly way too agressive for a street driven car.

That's why I don't let my girlfriend drive my T-bird. She has no experience with hi-po V8 cars. She drives a 1.5L Kia Rio every day. Hell after driving my Buick I get in the Bird and I have to remind myself how quick it is. RWD+strong V8=problems if you can't habdle it, and that goes for men and women.

Of course it was a replica, anyone asking that question is a twit. Nobody drives a real one on the street there to valuable, I wouldn’t even want a real one. There hard to drive there imposable to find parts for and you can buy 3 replica's that are faster, more reliable and easier to drive for the price of one original (that you would be a fool to drive on the street and couldn’t insure) I WILL have a replica one day, my Bird IS the donor for a factory 5.

As for the awesome power from that engine you all are seeing, it's more than likely just a 5.0. HO, That Replica is in the area of a 2000 lb car.. Take some of these guys T-birds, cut the exhausts off strip 1000+ pounds off them (hood, trunk, doors, glass, etc) and they would perform just like that. It’s called Power to weight ratio. her crashing it very likely had to do with that and the pedal as JeremyB pointed out... those using mustang pedal boxes have this known problem unless the builder corrects the geometry of it.

and just to keep out of it when it starts as amooset predicts...
it WAS NOT because of her “handicap” lack of a pen 15!!;)

I think that 15 lbs made the difference between a little wheel spin and loss of control.

My girlfriend drives an 86 Cavalier, and her driving my TC wasnt a problem at all. Its called having brains.
It's Gumby's fault.

Let's say your woman enters you into a sewing contest. You've never used a sewing machine before in your whole life. You sew through the end of your finger. Blood squirts everywhere as she films it. Then she posts the film on YouTube.

Tell me what the difference is. ;)

They should have NEVER let her out of the parking lot, you can clearly see that SHE could not correctly and safely drive that car. I thought see was gonna head on someone... at least she hit a parked car!
eric sewing your finger , and almost killing yourself is a big difference!

1) The Cobra is still in one piece with nice paint!
2) Your finger is sore instead of her head.

Have you ever sewn through the bone on your finger? It hurts, I tell you, HURTS! ;)

The point is...a few people were very quick to bash a woman that tries to do a "man's thing". But make the opposite true and I wonder how many men would do as well.

And you can kill someone with a sewing machine. They're heavy enough to do major organ damage. ;)

If you screw up with a sewing machine nobody dies. If you screw up with a sewing machine the damages are going to likely be less than $1000. Sewing your finger into your new green dress (but not a real green dress, that's cruel) is funny. wrecking a car that someone put a lot of blood sweat and hard earned mulah into because you were too stupid/arrogant to admit you couldn't handle it, is not.

The guy filming it didn't seem to care about the accident. The overall tone from him was one of humor, as he kept saying, "I knew it, I knew she'd do that!" If he's making light out of a serious accident then the sewing machine reference is just as valid.

Of course cars kill more than sewing machines. That wasn't the point. It's the role reversal that was the point. In that respect they are the same situation with gender reversal.
