get a viper, don't waste your time with a vette.
With a vette you might have a chance to steer out of the way of the tree your going to wrap your vehicle around.
With a Viper ur'll be sure to hit it plenty hard.
Do it soon please

All this sounds good and i'm in the same boat pretty much. My senior year and after 2 years of my license i'll finally be getting my own car. Hopefully by end of this year !

Just to help you out as well, please don't use touge as a verb. It sounds really odd and theres some who wont be so kind if they here you using it like that. z.z

And if you do plan on taking your car into the mountains or canyons, not sure on your location, drive it alot and drive real ******* safe for some time on them. Think half a year almost. I'm not joking wit u k ? It's advice you should take in and not forget.

As for mods, suspension is all you need for that kind of stuff. Don't need much power when you're a noob at driving just great handling. I'm in same boat as you here as well.

Just some words from a fellow teen

i have a friend that had an 8 and now has an s2k.

claims the 8 is more fun to drive, and easier, yet when driving it he felt 'untouchable'

rx8 all the way, unless you're gonna be a queer about the torque it lacks.
