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. Here's the link to the ad: http://norfolk.craigslist.org/cto/1561183126.html
What do you guys think? |

Some of us had fast cars as kids and we're still here. Then again, most of us knew somebody who had a fast car as a kid and wrecked it or got hurt in it. Thinking back to my high school days, the ones that got hurt or wrecked cars were pretty wreckless anyway. So if here is reasonable and level headed kid, I say let him get it.
The "modern" muscle cars are alot safer than the 60's and 70's cars, they have excellent brakes, crumple zones, air bags, antilock brakes etc. With most of the the older muscle cars, the brakes were marginal at best, they were unstable at speed, handling was generally poor by todays standards and they had little in the way of safety equipment. A '99 Z28 is a good all around car, good brakes, handling and power. It's not like it's just a straight line rocket. |
