Nope, I drive the same way. And I'm in a WRX. We're a community known for stupid people driving badly because AWD YO

Good on you OP. Some of you naysayers here sound like you don't have kids, or just have trust issues with them.

Same here. I drive way less aggressively whenever I have any passenger in the car. The exception being if its my dad who is in the passenger then I drive mostly normal.

JWillis your son will never forget this experience! Because of our close relationship with Street Scene Equipment (manufacturer of exterior styling products) I was able to borrow one of their SEMA vehicles for my high school prom. Google "Street Scene Supercrew." It is the candy apple red 97-03 body style F150 that comes up. I actually made my date color match the truck. It was pretty funny pulling up to the front of the school and dumping the air out of the suspension and watching all of the limos open up and my friends come running out to see what we were driving. It was definitely an experience I'll never forget!

Very cool Kyle, even though he is cut off the power I'm sure he will be showing off your stuff without telling anyone he doesn't know how to get to the power.

You guys are way too cool!

I worked my *** off and drove my Porsche that I bought to the prom. Dumped my date and picked up the girl I was dating from a different school; But that was a loooooong time ago!

Same here. I do not drive too aggressive as it is, but when I have a passenger in the car I am even less aggressive. Some girls get scared anyway haha. I've had girls tell me not to go fast when they get in the car lol. They are scared. It's only a Z...
But I've also had girls that wanted me to floor it on a on ramp haha.
I guess it just depends.

Op, did prom happen already??

Well, I don't know you, JWillis. I lurk here once in a while and I have to say, nobody knows your son like you do. Sometimes you have to show your kids you trust them. If he does okay and doesn't mess up it'll pay off for both of you. If he messes up, then I hope it's not too bad.

I have a grown up daughter (29) who I would've trusted with my Z if I'd had it when she was in HS. She was/is someone I would trust with my life. Not that she didn't have a good time. She drank some in HS and a lot in college but she kept out of trouble and never drove after drinking (that I know of -- at least she never got caught). It'll be a lot of fun for him and his date. All the other guys are going to eat their hearts out. He doesn't have to say anything about the rev limiter.
