In lieu of this thread I decided to poll a bunch of women that I met in the usual spots when one is lookin' for some tail. This is the list of places I visited in order:

The Mall
Movie Theaters
The Zoo
The elliptical machines at my gym
Hair salons
My favorite bar (it was becoming a stressful day)
The back of a police cruiser
and The Police Impound

56 out 40 women I polled prefer "low" torque to "high" torque (I of course let them be the judges of what that means because I honestly didn't know) aaaand I had an wonderful time doing this survey!

Since horsepower is a function for torque (Horsepower = (RPM x Torque)/5252), my next survey will be to find out if women prefer "high" revving engine to "low" revving engines. At that time we can finally find out the answer to the age old question of: Do women prefer "high" horsepower car to "low" horsepower cars???

O.K. I think I killed it...

"chick car" branding is very rarely true. My girlfriend does drive a VW jetta (I'd call it a chick car) However she lost the key and I loaned her the Boxster because she had to get to SCUBA cert. this morning. It was warm and sunny finally so when she got home the top was down and she didn't want to give the keys back (she found the VW keys). So I think I see more Porsche's in my future. :-)

That and my mom drives a Supercharged E36 M3. Not your typical Little old lady car!
