All the jealousy aside from the fact that you're blessed to own this car at 17, you should reconsider.
I got mine when I was 23, and I drove a 98 buick with 250k miles on it for 4 years. I'm not trying to argue that you need to drive a shitty car first, and if you feel as though you will not drift, hoon, drive above 70mph on a winding road and slide here and there, then sure go for it. If you think you will (and we all know you will, because this car does that to you), then get something else first...
Having a shitty car like for a while gave me the appreciation for having a nice car, and I literally did not go above 3k rpms for the first 2 months I owned the car. I didn't do my first launch until 6 months into ownership. and I didn't go on my first winding road cruise until I was able to downshift, heel-toe, and got used to the tail happyness of the car.
Bottom line is at 17 years old, most people are not going to be an experienced driver and you're gonna hate your life if you get into an accident at such a young age with a beautiful car.
All of this is irrelevant if your parents are rich and you don't really give a shit, so disregard it all.
tl;dr - Don't get a BRZ/FRS until you're more experienced in driving, and learn to appreciate the value of a 20k+ car unless you're dad is rich as hell and you don't care
