Well, as far as young, who knows, I'm about to be 33y/o. My thing is that my Lexus is very very tame so when I do get the chance to get into the GTO I want it to be the complete opposite. As far as tires go I've got 265's now, and I'm just going to have to make due with 285's next time I purchase a set (I know fender modification is involved).
Honestly, all out power/speed aren't that important to me. I couldn't care less who has a faster car or who I can/can't beat. I guess I'm really going for my own personal happiness lighting up the tires and putting the ass end loose when I do drive it along with some roughness/mean motor sound. I guess we'll just have to see how it goes when the painful part hits Wednesday when actually have to drop off cash for the parts. I've come to accept my inner ricer, lol.
