Most street racers are kids ages 16 - 21.. It is a shame that movie's like The FAST AND THE FURIOUS ARE ALLOWED TO ADVERTISE TO KIDS. It is a shame that parent's allow their kids to get 400 plus HP cars in the first place or worse, buy the car for them when they are 16 or 17. It should be a given if you are a parent to allow your kid to buy his/her own muscle car at a later time when they earn the money themselves and can afford it. If the kid has worked at a job which they got from their parents and make enough to afford a muscle car, you would hope the kid is responsible enough.. If you do what Hulk Hogan did with his son, you can see what happens to them, however he got off lucky.. I'm a firm believer that someones first car should be something big and slow until you get used to it..My first car was a hand-me-down Mercury Grand Marqi's nicknamed "The Tank". I drove that until I was 18 and purchased a V6 Mustang. It wasn't years later until I could afford a V8 Mustang on my own. Now I'm older and wiser and street racing is the last thing on my mind.. As a kid you believe you are invincible, and that is the main reason why it is a dangerous combination...
