:roflpuke2: first thing I thought when I was reading the title

Yeah tell a 16yr old kid to get a sports car and a radar detector. Way to encourage speeding......You're not too bright are you?

No, its not effectively your car. :tup:

you mean you DONT like waka flaca flame?!

:bowrofl:

ABBA and Culture Club bro.

I'd love a 370z at that age. So no.

:rofl2:

Depends on how responsible you are at 16 years old.

Walking before running is typically the best course of progression.

Having a Z is something you should work for, so you appreciate it. Regardless of if it's a 240,280,300,350,370. You won't appreciate a car of it's measure, until it is something you can work for. Having a car like the Z handed to you at 16(???) is like screwing to get your virginity.
It don't make sense.

Get a job at burger king, keep your grades up, go to college, and then buy the 2018 490Z

Bah. Like I said before, I appreciate the cars my parents bought for me just as much as the ones I've worked hard to buy myself. It all depends on whether or not you are a douche.

IBTL!
:roflpuke2: oh man...brings back memories of when i was 16 working at burger king

:bowrofl:



ps- its waka FLOCKA flame ;)

My first car was a 1987 Subaru gl wagon...ohhh man but did I then upgraded!...to a 1990 subaru legacy...wagon...then I got myself a 300ZX and now the 370Z. :tup:

I think the OP is kinda mature, he is even asking if the Z is too much and if he should wait 'till college, and to that I say YES. How about a 240sx for now? RWD so you can get used to it, decent power and good looking. It even has back seats!

You will do stupid **** with the car, just hope you played enough Gran Turismo with a force feedback wheel to at least have an idea of how to handle it when you're about to lose control. I might get flamed for this...but from my own experience (new '06 G35 6MT coupe as first car), it helped a ton. I also had a FWD car I drove as a DD ('02 G20) in the snow and what not (plus you really don't want to park a nice car in a HS lot...) and got pretty good at drifting. That translated to me being much more comfortable with a RWD car in case, not on purpose, the rear end kicked out in the rain or whatever. You should NEVER try to do anything with a RWD car at your age because I promise you don't have the experience you need to keep you, your car, and your occupants safe.

I hope you get the car you want, but be careful with it! I came pretty damn close a couple of times to losing it in the G35 thinking I was the s*** turning off VDC, and in retrospect it would not have been worth it. I learned from that and took a little time teaching myself how to control it on some dirt roads FAR from anything I could hit or kill. It really takes a couple of years to truly get to a point where you can snap the car back into a straight line without even thinking if you are just a little to hard on the throttle in the rain or on gravel. I give you my blessing on the condition that you keep the traction control on until you get there :tiphat:
