and i am not trying to be cocky or an asshole

and silent chamber do u mean like get a new aftermarket suspension on it.

and one more thing i won't plan on turbo charging it or nitrous for a while i will just mainly have h/i/e on it then once i get more experienced turbo charge the engine.

holla back

I wasnt saying u cant drive... Im simply saying theres a big difference between a 1800lb car with a 168HP engine, and what your mom may drive... Noone wants to have an accident, and noone certainly knows if/when its gonna happen, good driver or not... Id rather spend $1000 on a decent car and drive it around for a few years too get the feel for it before swapping... Its much easier to lose control of a high powered car, specially a light weight one... Not trying to sound like a parent or anything... Im just sharing my point of view as a 22 year old looking back at my driving history...

My cousin just got a car about 3 months ago, he got his liscence about a year ago, hes been driving like u, since he was young... Well good thing he got a beater to begin with, he totalled it last week, on his birthday no less... Luckily he and the other guy werent hurt... The guy was turning left, my cuz didnt see, and wham smacked into the rear end of em...

And no u dont sound like your being cocky... Most guys, my cousin even when I was tellin him the same thing his asnwer was 'that'll never happen too me', atleast u admit u may need more experience too handle that much power... Its his 'never happen to me' attitude is what got him into this mess... Remember it can happen to anyone...

Either way u choose too go I wish u luck! Keep us posted! And be safe... Roads not a safe place these days... I was almost killed by a drunk driver about a year ago... Its that much worse when u have an accident and u werent at fault... When your at fault u can just learn from whatever u did, and not do it again, when its not your fault your always watching your back... In may case anyways...
