Drive it responsibly. These cars have so much power they can easily get away from you. As a young dude you don't have to show everyone you're king of the road. The car says that. Just cruise in it and keep it nice. To many young people wrap these cars around trees or phone polls showing off.

I demonstrated to both of my kids how jumping on the throttle can get the car upset, and under controlled conditions let them experience the same. The car, or any other very high performance car, can bite before you know what happened.

I appreciate the concern. I am only 22 and i like to think im far more responsible then most my age . I have worked and paid for the car myself and have alot of respect for the power it has. I autox for fun and intend to let loose the ponies on the track where its safe and i can truly learn the car and its limits.

What the hey? 
Yesterday you said you found "the one" and I am pretty sure it was a so called "silver Z51" Less than 24 hours later you bought a Black one? Cool!
