Ok, so my son just turned 18. He has a Honda Accord that he built up pretty stout. Engine swap, coilovers, suspension ect... I think it is something like 300 hp on spray. He really wants to get into an F-body now. He's found a pretty decent 99 Z28 with some mild mods and high miles. Two questions for you guys, do you think a mild F-body is to much for an 18 year old? And what do you guys think abou the price and mod list? I drove the car, and it runs pretty well, and it's very clean, just High miles.

What do you guys think?

I'm going to be the odd man out here. I wouldn't have him in a 300 horse Honda, let alone a Z-28 at 18. No matter how well he drives, or how conscientious he is, once in a while he's going to show his butt. Probably with a buddy or 2 in the car, maybe in the rain, maybe a jerk in another car will provoke him. Heck, I'm 54 years old, and I still do that occasionally. I'd let him autocross your Firebird, and let him drive a '98 LaSabre to school. Both of my boys autocrossed, and both were pretty good, but there was no way I would put them in a performance car as a daily driver. Just my .02
