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 still the fly in the ointment. I wouldn't give a shit if he was a choir boy. He wouldn't be in a muscle car. Most of the guys that had muscle cars when I was in HS had parents that did not know cars. My dad was a Chevy parts manager and he did. He gave me permission to build a race car, but would not even consider letting me buy a performance car while I was under his roof. We all know cars, and listen to the confessions we're making. Some of us are probably damn lucky to be here, I know I am. I ordered new a '73 Vega GT, (I still have it), and that's what got me autocrossing. I ran the crap out of that car, and figured if I couldn't out accelerate my friends I could out handle them. So I went the springs, sway bars, shocks, tires route. But when I think of the way I drove, I cringe. He will run that car damn hard, and we all know it. I have very strong feelings on this subject, and since you asked, I answered.

Holy flashback, Batman ... I too was the proud owner of a Vega GT, only mine was a 72 model. It was a head gasket eating machine!
Your signature now makes much more sense.

Had an opportunity to trade it in on a 76 Cosworth Vega. It was one ugly orange car with orange hounds tooth interior. Another opportunity missed (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/banghead.gif)
