Just took my boss for a ride....
We've driven a ton of performance cars (we sell pre-owned vehicles)...but this was different. I flogged it through a couple corners for him, put down 15psi in first gear and dropped the hammer once in 3rd gear.
Afterwards his statement was "dude on that first corner I thought you were gonna f%&k your car up...I didn't know it would do that!"
He said he expected tires to squeal and rub and all kinds of mayhem.
Nope!

I've done that a couple of times - the usual response is total silence - and then feedback several days later that they were scared to death and thought they were going to die. My father in-law turned white and nearly peed his pants, I honestly thought he was going into cardiac arrest.

That reminds me of the first time I showed my car off to my now ex-girlfriend. She had never been in a properly fast car and the look she gave me as I let off in the middle of third gear was absolutely priceless. A mixture of "holy crap" and "what the hell are you thinking?"

and, with some of the mods all of us have done...when you give someone a ride at night, with a guardrail next to you you usually get unburned fuel out the exhaust with a nice little fire ball and they really freak out. A combo of the big pop and then the reflection on the guardrail; "What the F**k was that??!!" "NOTHING" you scream back, "JUST A LITTLE FUEL AND AIR MIXING - MY AFTERBURNER!"
