I had a coworker in the car once. Granted he's as nervous as a Chihuahua most of the time. I went to pass a slow moving pickup truck, maybe 65 up to 80 real quick and you'd have thought I was doing 150. Grabbed the door handle and screamed a little. Had no idea what he was riding in apparently. The pull of an AMG must be a tad more than his Ford Fusion.

This thread reminds me of a classic quote from an old SNL "Deep Thoughts" episode:
"When I die, I want to go peacefully like my Grandfather did, in his sleep -- not screaming, like the passengers in his car.” - Jack Handey

Perfect timing. Brother in laws wife (clueless on hp) keeps bragging about a new stock ram diesel truck she was in and how fast it is.
Been going on for awhile but lately it's morphed into "I just don't know how your car could be much faster than that Jim....sorry"
I'm sorry too.....she's about to see God.
Or at least tunnel vision.
Will try to get vid.

there are only two responses to WOT - screaming or dead silence. . .to date nobody has been able to talk. . . ("STOP, STOP, STOP" doesn't count as talking). . .
All of my enthusiast friends, when they drive it, say "wow it's fast"; when I get back and drive - they just giggle - they don't talk either until the throttle is closed (I think they're waiting to see the outcome. . .can he really stop THAT FAST. . .)
If you really want to F*&$ somebody up - do a 0-60/70 - 0 run - just when they're recovering from the acceleration - bam - deceleration - at that point it's just gutteral sounds that are coming out. . .

All I have to say is 1st gear in M-Mode has always resulted in something along the lines of "Holy-****ing ****" or "Oh-God, Jesus Christ" and on one occasion
