Yes, Mikes mother did help him out quite a bit, that doesnt mean that he is going to use the power foolishly. Now lets stop OT'ing his thread and focus on the great work PF did, and congradulate Mike for his car.

the problem is though.. experience rules.. you don't just wake up with experience of a 1000 CC motorcycle or a 500 hp RWD Car..
but again.. statistics say 20% of people who buy a 1000 CC Motorcycle as their first bike actually still have the bike the next season..
hopefully everything will be great for this kid.. but its hard to ignore the fact he has NO EXPERIENCE

Im gonna jump on this im young with a z...had it since i was 18. I totally agree that u cant just throw the, this kids gonna kill himself and or others, blanket on him. but u cant also say im totally 100% sure this kid is gonna be super responsible. I for one hope that he is as responsible as they say he is. Would be a shame to see all this work from PF scattered across the freeway.

PF has customers... they do what the customers want.. this is a business.. you can't pick and choose who you want to spend money with you..
my issue is with the parents if anything goes wrong.. had they not given him the car.. or the money go to PF.. this wouldn't be

Have you read what I have been posting?!? I am PERSONAL FRIENDS with the owner!!
I am soon to be 20, and I dont hang out alot of kids even my age. For just turning 17 years old, he is a hell of alot more respectful and mature of things than I was at that age. Mark my words, that car is in good hands, dont be expecting for anything to happen to it.
I have drilled it ito his head about how serious a 500whp car is at the experience that he is at. He like a little brother to me and respects what I say. As far as Performance Factory bulding a car for a younger kid, what the hell does that matter? They had a chance to do one of the first HR's for a really nice person. Age doesnt play a factor for having work done on your car

not the kids fault.. he is a kid.. he can tell his parents he wants a 1000 whp supra.. its on the parents to say NO..
its not the place fault... if he has the money for a 1000 whp supra.. their business is to turn out 1000 whp surpa's.. its on the parents to say NO .. business is a business man.. you can't discrimate on things because of this or that..
back to the parents..

I agree with Doug. 1st off Great work PF! Second lets hope the owner is responsible enough to take care of this. 500hp is a lot car for anyone to handle let alone a 17 year old. No one wants to see him, PF's work or any "innocent" person spread across an intersection.

I have driven a buddys 600hp Supra, and it was a rush. I agree not for the inexperienced, but again, Mike is driving around now on 4.5 lbs which is about 380whp. Until he gets comfortable with that, he isnt going to bump up the BC.

Who cares how old the owner is. The fact of the matter here is that PF did a nice, clean install on the new HR motor, and it laid down some monster power considering its stock block nature.

wow, congratz PF. makes me want the HR motor over the rev-up now. As far as the fuel economy question goes, I currently average 28.2mpg in my car. That includes cool-off time, warm-up time, and hopping on it. Not too bad I would say.
