Because someone who just turned 17 should not be driving a sports car, let alone a modded one. I wouldn't trust you driving next to me

ive been driving them since i was about 13. my parents always let me mess around on the private roads around our body shop..my moms had every year z06 since 04 ive driven them all..as long as your mature you can be safe in a car. just because im 17 doesnt mean that i am a wreckless driver. i am alot more mature then most 17 year olds i graduated highschool at 16 with a 3.6 and 54th in my class..2 years younger then all of every one else but just as mature. my job is modding cars and fixing them so how can i not own a nice car? but anyway im not on here to argue with anyone i dont want to be hated im just saying dont be so judgemental im a good driver lol

Very little. Driving experience has a lot more to do with how you drive.
