Yes, drove a 991 turbo S. Launch control - felt chest pressure and sensation of anxiety like I've never felt in a car before, and Ive driven GTR's and other high hp cars before. That car is nuts

Used to pull 6 Gs in the F4 almost every time I flew. Even with the G suit, there is some pressure. Never had that feeling in a car.

Had a Supra with a T-88 on it years ago. From 30-130 was something else, nothing like breaking traction at the top of third gear. Funny thing is, you get used to the speed quickly. Just felt somewhat normal after awhile, and I didn't fully appreciate the speed again until I moved over to an M3. Hah

Drove a friend's Supra with 800hp back in the day while they're on bikes. First time I experience tunnel vision. All things blurred out from the side. Cars are literally reversing on the road do 60mph.

It was a ton of fun, that's for sure. In fact, no new cars interest me like the MKIV Supra from 20 years ago does. I'm keeping a real close eye on RHD models which will be available to be imported here in the US next year (2018 is 25 years since the first 1993 models!). If the prices aren't too outlandish like they are with Supras in America still, I'll probably be picking up another one.

I ran the Tail of the Dragon with a bunch of other Z's last year. Guy in front of me slowed down and pulled over. After we regrouped I asked him what happened. Carsickness.

I never had it happen behind the wheel. But I'm a delicate pansy in the passenger seat.

First time I launched my car after going Stage 2 I gave myself what my doctor described as a "brownout" which is just before you black out. Lesson learned - don't launch with a sinus infection.

I got used to it (motorcycles do 5-60 in sub 4s easy). At first it is scary, then it become a thrill you are looking for, then you can't get it anymore, you got numbed.

I confirm that, tail of the dragon will get your passengers sick almost all the time, and may get you sick as well if you let the hammer down.

I pushed my turbo E30 to almost 650WHP. In the half mile I could hit 170mph and blow FBO GTR's and 911 Turbos away. That thing was scary, especially in such a old, light car. The way it pinned you in the seat was unlike any new car I've been in just because how light and the way the turbo came on. Miss that beast. Definitely made many passengers sick or scared.

That is physically impossible in a car. You could not get enough G forces in a car, which are lateral, not longitudinal, to create "grayout" let alone "blackout". It takes about 6 Gs longitudinal to produce grayout. Much more than that for lateral.
