Overall not my cup of tea...but for a 16 year old Definitly a nice car. They are right though. you need to put in your own Idea's and make it your own car. Like they said, body kit and wheels are a HUGE step...it would re work the image of the car...maybe go 1 color...like a solid orange. or black or something different. do a tranny swap etc. But overall I woulda loved to start with a car like that at 16. Just be safe driving it and dont fuck up trying to show off....its not worth it dude...I got too many tickets and 1 nasty accident in highschool and I had a 97 mustang v6 5speed....not fast....you can speed in anything...so just treat the car with respect and it will do the same for you...
