I was one of the most mature HS kids I knew, and I'm glad I never had a "fast" car until I was about 18

I had Preludes before that and I did end up doing some stupid shit. Mostly due to peer pressure I suppose.

Then I bought my LT1 so I could get accustomed to driving RWD, I wanted an LS1 but I didn't want to spend that much money on something I might end up in a ditch with in the rain.

Now I've got a blown cobra around 500bhp and I push the gas maybe 3x a week.

If i had $6000 and was 15-16.. I'd get a 1993-1997 Transam if I had balls. Keep in mind insurance is greatly different. My Cobras insurance is about 2500/yr, my Preludes when I was 2 years younger was probably 1300

Exactly, you may know how to work on any car out there but have you ever driven a fast car? Its not as easy at it looks, even cars that arent super fast stock like lt1's and 5.0 mustangs can be a handful when you have no experience.

I can't say that I agree with the people who say that kids shouldn't have nice cars. If it wasn't for an asshole in an SUV I'd still have my BMW, and while it wasn't the fastest thing out there it was a lot of fun to drive. My advice to you, Is to get a nice well rounded car, but nothing insanely fast, because kids our age (15-20) usually don't have enough experience behind the wheel to handle something with a lot of power. I might suggest a Mk3 GTI or similar car. Something fun to drive that has some power, but nothing insane. Hope I've been at least a little bit helpful

Fuck that, get a Volvo. An escort does more damage to itself than someone could do to it. You can get a turbo volvo for cheap and be quick with a few simple mods. But I agree with Blaxican. Don't get a quick car right away. But go Volvo

I like the way you think sir. I worked on volvo's all summer and damn me if I ever saw one with a big problem. Imagine my surprise upon hearing from one of our customers that his fucking volvo wagon was running low 13s high 12s. It would really confuse the hell out of me to get spanked by a volvo wagon.
