Yeah, because there is no way a 16 year old can drive a car with power.


By the way I was 17 when my dad and I built the 396 for my Chevelle.

1.74 60' 11.90-12.10 @ 114. That car is hooked up. Leaves soft with not drama not even a chirp. Perfect car for teaching the kids. I see Ron doing this in the Chevelle without nitrous.

No way? No, didn't say that. 17 year old female exceptions to the rule? of course.

But the average rich kid in OC is not you, or me. The average rich kid in OC will be taking the car to jiffy lube once every few years for a 'regular' oil change

Maybe on just the primaries or with some timing pulled but not with how it sits now. The Chevelle without nitrous runs low 11s high 10s at 122-123mph and pulls 1.5 60fts.

What's wrong with taking your car to Jiffy Lube? I take the Chevelle to EZ Lube to have the oil changed.

That looks good from the top but I want to see how it sits from the side. That's the one thing I don't like about the new C7 is that it has too much space between the tire and fender.

For some reason I thought it was higher. That looks good.

New Z06 looks good too.

There will be exceptions to every rule. I feel that in general younger kids are not experienced enough. Some people who have been driving for years I do not think can handle it. Like I said, different licenses for different power levels.

You have that girl and I will point to my sister who said after driving for 2 years can to the epiphany that if you slowly accelerated that you would get better gas milage. Another girl I worked with did not change her oil (she did not know you needed to) for for over 10K miles after she bought her car new and seized the motor. I doubt either of these examples would not how to handle a high powered car.
