since you are very inexperienced w/ cars,rwd, and the power, i would def take it easy, and only race at the track.

ive known too many ppl that have died from not respecting a car for what it is.

so be careful and have fun

wish i had mine when i turned 17.

good luck

I got my caprice for my 18th birthday (it only cost $2,000). And when I turned 19 I bought my Z28 with my own money. Needless to say, I treat my Z a lot better than I treated my caprice. lol
