LOOK!!! What not to give your son at 17

I don't think giving a high HP car to a teen is a big deal- it's teaching them to respect what a car can do to you, One of my classmates in high school was killed in a subaru when he lost control of it at 105mph, it had a 4 cyl boxer with 100hp at best- it looked similar to the Demon in the pics that were in the newspaper.

When I was 16-18 I had a Duster with a 360 making about 375-400hp and never put as much as a scratch on it, there were 12-15 kids in my school that had old cars or newer 5.0's or Z28's and I can't think of any of them being in accidents or other mishaps that were their fault, my friend Pete got in an accident with his Comet but it was because he got hit by a Jeep Cherokee with 7 kids in it that ran a stop sign.

One of the guys with the 5.0 had it running in drag radial a few years ago, low 7's @180mph and it was the same car he drove to school in 95-97.
