Well, I wouldnt recommend this model for a first vehicle as it is very fast and powerful. It goes from 0 to 60 in about 5-6 seconds. In 2000 they rated the firehawks at 330 horses but I think it has even more than that, and 2001 to 02 had even higher rated hp. I believe the WS6 is rated around 300 or so but Im not sure. If you really want to get him a 4th gen TA I'd start him off with the base Firebird V6 as it still looks mean and is pretty quick but still controllable.
I paid around 17k for this one but you can get them cheaper if you look around and you can also find them for a lot more if you dont haha.
Thanks for the compliments fellas.
