Prom?

Well, heres the deal. My son is 18 and going to his high school prom tonight with his girlfriend. He is begging me to let him take my new 45th 2SS manual tonight. I just got it 2 weeks ago and its only got 500 miles on it. What do you guys think?

Has he had any experience driving a high performance car? If you trust his judgment then let him.................

He has never had a ticket and I think he would be too nervous to drive it agressively, cause he knows how much I like it. I would be disappointed to say the least

just make sure you instill the fear of god into him. i had a nearly 500hp car by 19 and never wrecked it.



the only thing you had to worry about is if he doesnt listen to you telling him not to try and show off. its not like its a racecar, he just needs to remember its not his

Not exactly. You *could* fill her up with 87 octane. That would drop her down to the low fuel table. Not the same, but it'd definitely slow her down.

But again, you're call dad

thats good. But, ive owned 3 sports bikes over the last 5 years, and never once got a speeding ticket in my life..... not getting a ticket doesnt mean too much

hopefully he has enough sense to not show off and drive it respectfully.
