Default I'm the new kinda new

Uhh... yeah. Some guys know me off camaroz28.com and ls1.com. I'm young. I'm not old enouph to drive (15). But I know something about something. I hope you guys could help me with my questions and I'll help you out with whatever I can. I want to set off my Automotive Career and I am also an enthusiast. So much love to my enthusiast peoples. Peace.

EDIT: Oh I forgot. I have a Toyota Camry '94 four cylinder (beater). It has 156,000 miles on it. But I rebuilt the heads and put in new piston rings and it rins like new. I don't drive it but when I get my license it get's passed to me and since I'm a good student my mom might get me a 2002 Camaro SS/Z28, low miles, GM Certified.

Welcome to the site. You have come to the right place of technical support. I would hold off on the 2002 Camaro SS/Z28 until you have some drive time under you belt. Being 16 and having a fast car like an SS or Z28 might be a little more than you can handle.

There are guys who are mature at the age who could handle the car but most 16 year olds just want to look cool and show off so having a fast car may not be a good idea for them.

I got a 98 TA WS-6 drop top in 99 when I was 18. I destroyed it within 2 months and was left with about 26k in bills (Stupid 6k guard rail) and no license. Good Luck.

Yeah, thank's for the advice. I'm pretty mature for my age, so that's why my mom is giving me the car. I am going to take it easy though, because I don't want to wreck it, but as soon as I get it I'm going to add bolt-on SFC, and just get used to the power. Maybe some suspension mods, but keep the stock power until I truly need more. Thank's for the welcome.

Best thing that my dad taught me when i first got my car ( I was 18 at the time, now 19) was.....when we took it to the high school when it was raining on weekends when no one was there and set up a road cousre for me to drive. he would tell me to get on it and drive it as fast as you can.....and i would loose control everytime, .......after a few months i learned how the car handled, what it liked, and what it hated..........It was the best thing i ever did, I grew up so much and learned so much about driving.
