watching the kids on star mazda series today proves my point once again. Younger kids tend to have higher propensity to take risks and not contemplate the results. Just look at how many guys went into the first turn hot and wide with less than warm tires. Some of the passes were downright stupid. I'm not saying that all kids are like that but having been 16-17 and lucky enough to drive some very fast porsches, ferrari's and lambo (my dad's 73 RS and my uncles testarossa and coutach) I done my share of pretty stupid boneheaded moves and almost totalled my dads very rare pcar. Hence we starting out with a RWD corolla. When you are young, you DO NOT know your limits. All kids are fearless until they get their first oh shit moment.

With that said though, Amit just from his responses and post proves that he is 1) inexperienced 2) not paying attention and thinks it's ok to not pay attention or get into an accident once a year 3) not even smart enough to know that insurance fraud will get you an immediate pass to but the butt monkey of some guy in Juvenile hall or worst yet.. medium security prison. If you were his dad, would you give your son a 60K car with 333hp. A responsible father would not.

This thread refers to only Amit. You made inferences but again, you also have proved that you do not have a clear understanding or risk/probability. Come back and talk when you get through colllege and pass your quants/statistics class..

When I was talking about the 14 year olds, I was talking about the group of kids training to be BMW's tomorrow M3 GTR, Formula 1 drivers... A very experienced group indeed. Dunno how you drive, and so I won't judge.

I never said I was a good driver or a bad driver Sanguru. I simply said, UNTIL you see me drive, you should not judge how I do drive. Key difference there... If we go to the track, and you think I suck, then fine, by all means, spew all the crap you want - you'll have made your opinion from real experience.

Sure the older you are the better you get at driving. No-one contested that. What I did contest is that not EVERY teenage driver drives as badly as you might think, just like not EVERY 30 year old is not M. Schummacher.

Sure I'd love to go driving with you sometime. Lets go to Laguna, maybe you can teach me something. As to why I didn't respond right away - well some of us have stuff to do in the day Sanguru, and don't spend all day infront of X5world (as tempting as that may be... ) If you want me to drive, obviously I can't bring the X, but maybe the 330Cic would do... I doubt my aunt would let me drive her 996 to a track...
