My dad bought my brother a '97 Honda Prelude when he was 18. Crashed it 6 months later. That's like 200HP trying to be quick. He was trying to race his car on the street like I did on the track with my '85 Celica GT-S.
Difference was my car (which was 1 year older than me) had only 110hp & 140lb torque, but weigh only 2300lbs. I went to racing school and learned to respect my Celica a whole lot more because how much better it feels driving something 2300lbs is than something 300HP. Fucken lack of power and light weight saved my young butt a lot more than a heavy and powerful car.
