Funny, we were just talking about 'vettes last night. Ghosty was trying to convince me when I get rid of the Jag, that a new Vette was the way to go. I was saying no way, if I ever got a 'Vette, the ABOVE was exactly what I wanted :D
"new vette" is an oxymoron. The plastic toys they try to sell now don't count.

An excellent choice Yosef. :cool:

As much as I would love the Mustang, it isn't practical for winter time here, I can see me sliding down the hills sideways right now......

So I drive something a bit more pragmatic:



Same color and all, the only difference is mine has all those tree dents in it....

Hot cars turn women on!
11-18-2008 10:16
http://blog.wired.com/cars/2008/09/weve-got-some-b.html


David Moxon subjected 40 men and women to the sounds of a Maserati, Lamborghini and Ferrari, then measured the amount of testosterone in their saliva. He found everyone had higher levels of the stuff -- a measure of their arousal -- after hearing the revving exotics, but the amount the women had was off the charts.

The econobox, however, left everyone colder than a January day in Nome.

The study was commissioned by the ultra-exclusive British insurer Hiscox (we swear we're not making this up), which was curious to know how people respond to high-end luxury cars. "We knew owners of luxury cars felt a connection with the sound of their vehicles," says Steve Langan, managing director of the insurance company. "We have now scientifically proven the physical attraction people feel when it comes to cars."

To test the theory that high-performance cars get people hot, Moxon had 40 men and women listen to recordings of the three Italian exotics and a Volkswagen Polo. Everyone had significantly more testosterone after hearing the exotics, and all of the women were turned on by the Maserati. The guys, on the other hand, were drawn to the Lamborghini.

“We saw significant peaks in the amount of testosterone in the body, particularly in women," Maxon says, noting that even women who said they had no interest in cars were turned on. "Testosterone is indicative of positive arousal in the human body so we can confidently conclude from the results out today that the roar of a luxury car engine actually does cause a primeval physiological response.”

As for the Polo? Everyone had less testosterone after listening to it. That means the acceleratus interruptus of a Prius going all-electric in traffic is automotive equivalent of skin flicks starring previous secretaries of state, despite General Motors' claim that nearly nine out of 10 women would rather talk to a guy in a hybrid than a Porsche.

Don't buy it? Check out these videos of Maserati, Lamborghini and VW Polo exhaust notes and tell us how you feel afterward. Be forewarned, though -- we are not responsible for any primeval responses they cause.

Self flagellation is good for the soul. Or something bullcrappy like that.
