The problem with an Evo as a first car is that its limits are so high that when it does bite, it bites hard. With a 93 Civic if you **** up, you will put it in a guard rail. With an Evo, you have to be going so fast that you will put it through a guard rail. Understand? Just get a **** box and learn to really drive, then trade up. Do some HPDE and AX events, so you can learn how to recover a car that is out of control. I learned more in my first couple track days than in the previous 15 years of driving on the street. If your parents are willing to buy you an Evo now, chances are they will be willing to get you a beater now than let you trade up in a year or two.
And for the record, nobody really cares if you turn yourself into a grease spot on the highway somewhere, we just don't want you taking out other people.

My first car was an SRT-4, I bought it, thought I could handle it, but then the first tiem I got in it, the G forces made my body go through puberty quicker then I was meant too. While I do understand that the evo is not as cool or fast as the SRT-4, i'm just trying to give you a kind of comparison. the only reason I didn't hit anyone or get in any accidents is because I was in a different time dimension. It's not good to get a fast car when you're young, it's not good at all.

see this is where I think you guys are wrong. i know at 15 I would have had no problem handling an evo and I dont know about the rest of you but I had more than enough money to pay for it and maintain it. You guys dont know this guy....he could be the next danica patrick.

Dout it lol, Dem kinda people been doing dat **** from since they 6 n so.
Anyways all in all, buy a cheap beater for now, sit your rents down and show them that you want them to trust you and that you dont need and evo, tell them you want seat time and that its best if they love you to buy you a **** truck for now. It will show them how responsible you can be.

So having an Evo at the age of 15 should be out of the question. Get a Ford Fiesta or something.

It was either an SRT-4 or the Evo...the choice was obvious. So I took the SRT-4 and drove it man. I ended up selling it to NASA, and a few years later, we had new more efficient ways to get into space. the way I see it, if this guy gets an evo, it's okay, but if he gets an SRT-4, we're going to have to find him and destroy it. It's just too much power for one person.
