Last nite my younger brother dropped in and was bragging how he went for a ride in a 2005 Z06 Vet the nite before . And they were "burning rubber all over the place"
. So I asked him "you haven't been for a ride in the TR since I put the new combo in" ? . and replies "no" . so....I suggest he stay for dinner and after dinner we'll scoot up to Port Perry to check out the car show they have every Wed . He agrees . 
After dinner I pull out the TR from the garage and he jumps in the passenger seat . I mention that I like to "put a little heat into it" before I head out on the main roads . Meaning ,letting it get up to operateing temp before putting my foot into it at all . so , I let it warm up in the driveway a bit and then do a little light driving around the side roads . and he replies in this mocking sarcastic tone "yeah...put some heat into it " . making it sound like how's this ride going to be any better then the ride I took last nite in the " Big Bad Vet " . so I'm thinking to myself "alright you little smart ass S H I T I'm going to show you how this car REALLY goes" . so after a little driving and me checking the SM for temp readings I finally see the magic temp reading of 155-160 degrees . we're ready .
I cruise up to the traffic light at the main road waiting for it to turn green so I can make a left hand turn . Light turns green and I make a gentle turn into a wide left . Just as I'm coming out of the turn in first gear . I just throttle the pedal right down . The boost guage instantly spins up to 15 lbs of boost and the rear end breaks right sideways . I look over and my brother is clutching the dash and center console for dear life. I feather off the throttle just enough to straightened out and as soon as I did that . I was back in it again pulling the shifter into second . The car is going up Thickson Rd right sideway across two lanes at around 20 lbs of boost , smoke pouring from the rear tires . Then I pulled third out of it and all hell is breaking loose . and I swear out of my brothers mouth I heard him wimper like a little girl on a rollercoaster "Oh my god .....stop" . LOL . after of about 350-400+ ft of this , I straighten up the car and let off on the throttle . I then turn my head towards my brother and say "how's that for putting a little heat into it" ? He was friggin white as a ghost . I had the biggest grin on my face and started laughing .
So after we returned home the wife asks him "how was the ride in the TR" . He replies you mean " The Turbo Death Car " LOL . I broke out laughing . I asked him about the little girl begging to stop . But... he would not admit to saying it , while he had a grin on his face . . LOL Then I say to him " let me know if your Vet buddy wants to run the TR " . He didn't say anything . I bet he phoned his Vet buddy as soon as he got home and told him all about the ride in "The Turbo Death Car" .
