you want a real car then you want a 1996 corvette grand sport, or a 2002 mustang cobra, 1970 chevelle 454 LS6 kill your exes car. 1970 Plymouth Barracuda 440 nobody would catch you. My personal favorite 1969 Yenko Camaro Z28. These are some of the faster cheaper sports cars of the day. The only thing is they will be a challenge to find one. all of them will kill your exes car.

Wake Up! Street racing kills people. Your parents ought to read this post. It demonstrates that at 16-years-old that you aren't ready to be handed the keys of any car let alone a shiny, new, fast one.

You have stated here with that comment that you aren't responsible or thinking with your head straight while driving. Wanting to have a car to beat your ex's in a race is downright dumb.

I'm not trying to be mean here but I'm trying to give you a much needed dose of reality before you get in to an accident, kill yourself or someone else from racing and other immature antics behind a motor vehicle.

Having said that if you rethink why you were given the privilege to drive and the responsibility that comes with it than maybe you should be given a shot at that new car. You need to think about safety before design and speed. You can't go wrong with the 2008 North American Car of the Year the Chevrolet Malibu starting at 19,000 USD.

One of the reasons I'm being hard on you is that one of my friends was killed by a drunk driver who was street racing. Ironically, this friend was a public speaker who educated people about such stupidity.

It's something you never forget. I don't want that person showing off and racing to be you or someone in an accident because of a bad decision to race a fast car. My pal had a lot to give but the 18-year-old kid that hit him ruined two lives for doing the kind of thing you're thinking about with racing a car and showing off.

Drunk or not you can ruin lives so it's not a remark to e taken lightly by me. I couldn't not answer your question when I read that.

Just because you can afford a fast car doesn't mean you have the skill to dive it and control it easily nor safely. It's a mistake to choose a fast car as your first vehicle while you're just becoming accustomed to every day driving. It's a lot to ask of yourself. Buy something with a great design that has a high safety record. Also buy thinking of what the insurance and other payments will be like.

I knew somewhere I was going to read, "mustang" in this question. Seems most younger kids own them. Ok, since you asked, I am going to give you my opinion.

First off, I DON'T recommend street racing at all, period! It's not only stupid but to an unexperienced driver, it can be deadly, not just for you but for innocent bystanders. If you want to race, take it to the strip!

Ok, now that we got that clear and I know you'll listen to the above warning, lets move on. Just about anything you get is capable of being "souped" up. Meaning, you can just about modify anything.

I have no clue to what your folks budget is but I'd try my damnedest to get a Camaro. No, not a V6 but an old school V8. Why I pick Camaro? Well, because it's most likely something you'll find attractive and they've been know to compete against Mustangs and win.

Not only that, when you go to buy upgrades, parts for a Chevy ARE cheaper than Ford parts. Not only that, I can just about promise you, even though I don't have clue to where you live, someone on your street knows how to work on the SBC 350 (small block Chevy 350 cubic inch motor)

I've been into the hot rod craze for awhile and have a few projects under my belt. Check my video out, it's a V8 Mustang killer, it's an old school Chevy Caprice Coupe: [Link](Mouse over link to see full location)
