when you get it make sure U R afraid of the car otherwise you'll think oh i got this and u'll screw up and hurt urself maybe someone else + ur car will be messed up. i had a friend get a 1999 WS-6 modded straight from SLP and flipped it/totaled it not even 6 hours after he got it. hes lucky he didnt get hurt.

Not to continue beating the dead horse but RESPECT the power that this car makes and then can later make.
Here's something you should look into doing which is affordable and can teach you a lot about your car. I did something like it and my brother who's turning 16 is taking the class in Sept.

For $60 you can't beat it and you'll get some idea of how to control your car in tricky situations.
ONE MORE TIME:
RESPECT THE CAR AND THE POWER!
Be Safe and good luck with your new ride.
P.S.
Here's my mentality: "I know I own a quick car, so I don't have to prove it to anyone."

I've had mine for about a year and a half and I worked all through high school to get it. I gradually upgraded my vehicles and finally ended up with this. I'm 21 and I'm doin a heads/cam swap right now.
I had a 88 iroc with a 305. It was raining one day when me and some friends were leaving the movies and its a huge left turn. You can already see where this is going.... I accelerated too much and the *** end spun around. Somehow i was able to a complete 360 and just go on my merry way. I wish I would have been able to see it from outside because it happened perfectly
I got lucky and there werent any other cars around and I didnt hit anyone.

Be careful and respect the car like the other guys said. I got mine for my first car and havent had any problems, I am now 20. Make sure you get a nice job too because once you start mods you wont want to stop!
