G Force

[carnaby35]

Coming home from our club meeting last week in the 718S with my dear lady wife. Stopped at some traffic lights and decided to give it the beans away from the lights. Nothing dramatic just in normal mode on the sport button.
There was a sudden screaming from the passenger seat- something about gforce, nauseous and don't ever do that again!!
Cant understand it, 160 on the autobahn in the 987S last year and she never batted an eyelid- except for gripping the seat and the door handle for some obscure reason.
Thats women for ya, just damned hard to please sometimes!!!????????

Sounds all too familiar. Though on a recent Porsche Experience Mrs Scaredypants was doing full-on lunch control in somebody elses Boxster. No logic......

Kind of understand ...did launch control once and was almost sick ,so suppose G force may be some thing similar. I always feel sick if in the passengers seat if driven fast but not if I'm at the wheel .

I’ve always suffered from motion sickness so I’m likely to need full on lunch control when in the passenger seat too!

Yes I do actually understand. It's a different ball game when you are in the passenger seat!!
I am very fortunate really as a lot of wives will not even entertain getting into a sportscar!!
