wrong ! he wouldn't pull the Porsche cause you have a 10% tolerance and he ain't gone over it

The "speeding" is a factor of attitude more than car.
There you go, its a redundant answer. You've always argued how sports cars mostly come with the "Starbucks, fanboy, rich boy, yuppie, attitude". I am certain that the speeding attitude is among those.

I don't deny that, but chances are slimmer. If she did took the car without permission, what temptation would it have brought if it was a Camry ? Lets say she would have "stolen" it, but maybe she would't even had been able to speed the car that much.
