I drove plenty of high powered cars when I was a kid. I also grew up in a family that owned an auto shop and towing service in Southern Iowa. We did towing for the Highway Patrol so I saw the results of stupid driving firsthand since I was 7 years old. Yeah, I got put to work changing oil, washing windows, pumping gas and even fixing tires from the age of 7!
It showed me exactly what happened if you were stupid behind the wheel. Did I still drive fast at times? Of course I did! But I knew when and where to do those things. If this were kids in the 70s or 80s, I might be okay with it but most kids now I'd be afraid to give them something like this as a first car unless they were rebuilding it first.
