 Wow - I just cannot wrap my head around a 16 year old being given a 330 hp+ sports car. The two main reasons being; at that age you simply do not have the requisite road experience inorder to handle a performance car. Two, there is something to be said, as alot of us "older guys" can attest to, for earning your own set of wheels. Especially something you will cherish like the Z. Academic accomplishment and emotional maturity do not equate to mature driving skills and a healthy appreciatiion for the machine you are piloting
I'm 35 now but had a 1980 Oldsmobile Cutlass that handled like a tank when I was 16 or so. Honestly, I'm sure I would of wrapped myself around a tree a couple of times if I had access to that kind of power and handling at that age. It does feel good to know that the 370Z I will soon be purchasing will be due to of my own success and acheivements, plus I probably won't wreck it in the first month.
Just my 2 cents. Cheers.
