This is a 400hp, RWD monster, that takes a considerable amount of skill. Now.... it's by far one of the easiest cars to drive fast, and it loves powerslides, but this is NOT a good car to get if you're 18. It can go like stink, and has very high limits/capabilities.

I have plenty of racing/driving experience, and was a little taken aback the first night I had mine. Maybe try something a little friendlier.... just a suggestion, as I'd hate to see a young driver added to the "wrecked GTO thread."

Now, before the hating starts, how many of us would give our own kid this thing as a first car? I'm just saying that if you want it, get some driving lessons before you even think of seeing what it's capable of... because believe me when I say that it's capable of much more than you can handle. A GTO has no problem breaking the rear loose at triple digit speeds, and 3rd gear powerslides are a absolute blast.... but way too easy to induce.

Anyway, just a word of advice. Look up your local TCRA, SCCA, SpeedVentures or NASA track events, and schedule some instruction if you want one/get one. It'll make you a better, safer, and faster driver.
