It's cheaper for a rock star who says he's not going to "go Hollywood" to "go Hollywood" in Bloomington, IN. than on the West Coast. LOL

Oh ok...so all the kids in the late 60's and early 70's must have died in fiery crashes
These guys must have never heard of the Beach Boys.

and I had a 1992 Silverado 4x4 and could've died many times. Horsepower or type of vehicle doesn't matter to a 16 year old
1. Dad is liberal (for the record).
2. Son is young.
3. Family is in the midst of a divorce.
4. Dad is buying son's love or his forgiveness - you pick.
5. Dad just put down payment on grave.
Will see, but would be a shame for son to go.

6. All of this really none of my business.
Maybe not yours, but it's mine.
A 16 year old, with a rocket sled and NO financial concerns is scary enough. Add to it the crazy emo of having millionaire superstar parents divorcing?
My adult children drive around this area with my grand kids. YES, this is my business.
Depends on what age they started driving. I drove a big ol' Chevy with a 427 on a regular basis, when I was 14. Of course it had a 5&2, tandem axle, and a 18 foot grain bed. I understood plenty about driving by the time I was 16.
Now, as to putting that knowledge to use or not, that's a different story.

they may be rich now but give it a few months, they will be at a soup kitchen when they get through paying the repair bills on a ford

I didn't say that every kid who gets a fast car is going to die. That's a pretty big logical leap from what I posted.
But I actually think that kids with a fast car today are more likely to have an accident than they would have been in the 60s or 70s. Kids are much more likely today to be using some type of technology, whether it's a cell phone or ipod/iphone hooked up to their stereo. Not to mention the much higher volume of traffic on the road today. On the other hand, cars are safer, and crashes are less deadly now.
My first car was a 2wd, 4-banger pickup. My second car was/is a v8, rwd coupe (much like the car the OP was talking about). I definitely am going to make my kids (way down the road) drive something reasonably economical before they get a nice car. Assuming they're good enough kids to deserve a nice car from dad.. haha.

I had built a pretty hot little mustang a few years ago and when I tired of it advertised it for sale. The first people to look at it was a man and his 16 year old son that had just received his license. The kid was hot for the car and I knew I had a sale for my asking price but pulled the father aside and had a talk with him about what was going to happen. I hated to miss the sale but honestly couldn't sell the car to him without first having this conversation. If he wanted the car after our discussion I was o.k. with taking his money though. The father called me the next day and thanked me for the info and said that they had bought the kid a Hyundai.
Then I felt sorry for the kid!

I suppose I can see you point. But to play the devil's advocate.
What you say can ring familiar of an anti-gun liberal saying the same thing about "all those crazy gun carrying people".
Just sayin'
Generally speaking, a 400+ hp car is not a goodstarter car for a 16 year old. But there are always exceptions, and who knows what the kid is prepared for better than his parents?
To those that say what about the kids that drove the late 60s early 70s muscle cars- Most of those cars would not touch their modern counterparts in any performance category, when you compare stock cars to stock cars. Even cars like a 69 Vette with a 427 are not even close to a modern LS3 equipped Vette.
