Very lucky, I got hardly anything for my 16th.

I'd go RX8 in all honesty, but have a look at all of them up close before you make a decision.

Get a 370. I have an 03 350z and I love it but im about to switch to a 370. If you could get the SS model of the Camaro then maybe do that since its more powerful than the Z but it does weigh quite a bit more, oh and alsodont eventhink aboutthe RX8when you have these other cars to think about.

You lucky dog. Get the 350Z and use the difference money between 350Z and 370Z to pimp your 350Z out.

Camaro V-6 gets around ten more MPG than the RX-8, and is faster to boot.

BTW, I thought I was lucky to even have my parents help buy my V-6 Mustang at 16! You are going to be envied quite a bit buddy. As for car, 370z is out of the question. Lack of a rear seat is no good when It comes to friends, trust me it's a good thing to have. Personally, I'd say go domestic. Get either the Camaro, Mustang, or hell, even a Challenger. They're cheaper to fix, easier on the wallet, and all of the girls I know prefer American Muscle to Japanese Ricers. RX-8, while nice, requires a lot of attention to the Rotary. Still, it's your choice. Just don't add a whole bunch of gaudy crap (Stickers, huge spoilers) to your car after you buy it, like all the boy racers do.

BTW: If you get any of these cars, they'd better be in manual. You'll get picked on a lot if they aren't, and the only real way to experience these machines is with a stick.

Just dont buy the V6 models on the Camaro or Mustang if thats what you're going to.If you're looking for performance then the RX-8 is last on that list, I don't know why everyone is saying go for that.

Actually, I'm going to change my mind. I'm going to ask your grandparents to get you a 4 cylinder, 4 door. Best way to ensure that you have a 17th Birthday.

Maybe in a straight line, but rx8 is probably third on that list, although rotary engines are supposed to be harder to work with. so a technician may be harder to find/cost more.
