I'm currently 19 and have a part-time job (@ UPS) making $500/month. By November I should have $3000+ saved up for a down payment and whatever else (taxes, title, etc). I own a 1990 Dodge Daytona with 97,000 miles on it. My dad recommends I take that money and put it in a "speed shop" and let them do whatever they can to it. Well I know for one there aren't any turbos for it, and I sure as hell don't want a huge blower on it. He thinks i'm getting in over my head with a brandnew car at my age. I will be able to afford the monthly payments (which i'm assuming will be $350~400~) but insurance will be the main problem. I'm sure I can get help from my mother if needed.
So what do you guys think? Put tons of money into the Daytona (which will require a new trans+clutch considering the synchronizers are bad and I don't want extra power on a stock trans) or save for the SRT-4 for early next year?
