On a slightly divergent note, my brother loaned me his car for my honeymoon - it was a specially imported Toyota MR2 turbo, with hardened /race level suspension.
Fine for me, alas my (new) wife was 3 months pregnant, not happy about the way I took corners, or the ride, or the engine noise, lack of luggage space, or about how difficult it was for her to get into or out of the car. There is just no pleasing some people, after all we I didn't crash and kill us!
However, at one point we pulled up at the lights alongside two ‘yoof’ in an XR3i, who decided to rev their engine and look over. She said to me ‘when the lights change, floor it!’ So I did, there was quite a considerable degree of lag until the turbo decided to cut in - and we blew past the Ford.
On reflection this may not have been a good strategy, what with my new wife and future daughter on board.
Was quite exciting though.
