16yrs old, first car advise?!

Ill tell ya what they told me, "That's too much power for you kid" LOL! Kidding, if it helps, try not to think about "what its worth in $$$" What its worth in do you have fun everytime you drive it? are people like "wow that's a cool car" also working on them is fun too, think about the enjoyment, if you still don think its worth it, take it racing at the track.
