why is everyone giving this kid such a hard time? put urself in his shoes, i'd personally be stoked if my parent would have bought me a car and a tt kit when i was 19, as long as the kid doesn't kill himself (or anybody else for that matter), i'm happy for him. but that part of my life sucked for me cause i had to save up my own change and buy a stupid civic as my first car
just investing some money into some sort of racing / performance driving school is a great idea

^^ because people are annoyed, pissed off, and jealous...that we all have to work our butts off and buy our own things when others get things handed to them. But that's life...there have always been and will always be wealthy elite parents in this world... If I was the kid I'd be stoked too tho.. whats he gonna say.. "no mom it's not fair to the average american...just buy me a civic" ????????! lmao least the kid has good taste in cars. lol

Actually my cousin whose family is pretty wealthy said that to her mom when they offered to buy her a new benz for her 16th birthday. She just wanted a civic to get to school and back. They just ended up buyin her a fully loaded accord instead. After about 3 years they bought her a new benz....
Some kids actually have a sense that they shouldnt be driving around high dollar cars for their first car.

I don't like the idea of a 17/18/19 year old kid getting handed a high powered car because its not showing responsibility by his parents. If I could have gotten one, I would have, my parents wouldn't let me buy the WS6 that I found after months of searching, because on test drive, I drove for 10 minutes or so, then my dad got in, and within 3 minutes was pulled over for speeding. The cop was a friend, no harm, but it was a wakeup call. There is NOOO reason that at 17/18/19 anyone should be HANDED a car that powerful. I'm 21 - have driven without a ticket, wreck (well, now a log) etc. for 5 years, ridden ATV's/dirtbikes for 18 now....and I still get scared to drive my dad's LS2 corvette hard because the car is too much for me....
I am jealous, but also a bit annoyed because chances are, with a TT he will wreck it, ****....I'd wreck it. And that makes it cost more for me to own the car because an inexperienced driver got way too much power, and made my insurance rates go up...

i agree with Peak350, because i've been in trouble with not as fast car as the Z is, but fast enough to do the damage. I was 18 back in my country(cops weren't a probolem) demonstrating how fast the passat VR6 was, and collided in a scrap dumpster. I got lucky that the girl with me just had a bruised shoulder, however the VR6 was totaled. I try to be responsible with my Z, even though i dont baby my car, and push it alot sometimes. But my point is when you are young rationality is something you dont care for.
