So an 18 year old wrecked a early 80's 230hp V6 Ferrari that runs low 15's, I dont really see how that relates.
I dont know about you guys but there were a lot of kids I went to high school with that had 400hp muscle cars that weighed under 3,500lbs and I dont remember any of them totaling their prised possession.
I bought my 67 Camaro at 18 and after just one year of working it had a 400hp ZZ4, stalled th400, with a 12 bolt and 4.10's out back that weighed less the 3,000lbs. I went accident free with no speeding tickets with it until I lost it in a divorce. You sound like a mature and responsible guy from your post so I dont see a problem with an 18 year old like getting a ZL1 after 2 years of safe driving under your belt. You can always take a performance driving course and Cadilliac is doing something like that with their new CTS-V's
I took more risks, was more reckless and did a bunch more stupid shit when I was driving a 94 Dodge Shadow ex rental car I owned right before I bought my Camaro. I must of been the first person to try to supercharge their car with a gas powered leaf blower back in the mid 90's which now seems to be a popular mod as seen on youtube and the pages of Hot Rod magazine. It didnt work and the hood blew open at 45mph and creased it shit out of it. I lied to my parents and told them I pulled a Tommy Boy and forgot about the oil can which caused my hood to open up. lolz
The aftermath
and its replacment
