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? |

Since I know both Rpoz-29 and Mitchntx, I think you both would get along very well! Just my .02 But serriously, thanks for all the comments guys. I'm going to try and put a stop to the madness and put him back in the POS stock civic 4 dr for at least another year... If I can... I know how I was at 18.
