RE: new to here
Ah when I was 16 I had a 4cyl s-10 and boy did I think I was bad lol...Yea the G.T will feel like a beast at 16 be careful in it you hear me...S/C comes later get used to it now and then like everyone else said start with bolt ons and hang out in the fourm you will learn so much by just reading from other people; that is what I do you wouldnt believe how much you would learn. About every question you have has been dug to death on here so look around and you will get your information without even having to ask. Then when you do start learning about your caryou can help other people out there. Good look. Oh yeah and try looking for a car that is in great shape even a one owner dont buy someone else raged junk...good luck if you ever need nething just pm me and I will try to help!

Follow the advice of the others and start small, there is a good bit you can do with these cars but you need to study up before you go diving into anything.
A good starting point on these cars is to get them breathing better in and out. So pick up a K&N (it will last forever and you can clean it) and then get to work on the exhaust. These won't show much in the way of power but damn will it sound good.
After that, rear gears are the most bang for the buck (most will say 373s or 410s).
I know you want to supercharge but to be honest the power does no good without the ability to put it to use, so I would do some suspension upgrades first and please if it isn't already lower that girl down about 1-2" so you lose the "4x4" look.
If you have money left to get a supercharger after all of that I suggesta complete kit such as the Mongoose kit.
If you have more questions just send a pm to one of us or use the search feature. Good luck, have fun, and be safe!

If you can afford an 03/04 cobra and its insurance then you should just go with that, if you are mature about it and respect its power. If its out of your price range go with a GT and build it up or just get use to that before moving up to a cobra. Do not get a V6, I get the same gas mileage now with my V8 and the insurance wasn't that much more. Not worth it.
