I would love that my kid had something that new and safe as a first car. My first car cost 300 bucks and didnt have 1 airbag. The FRS did well in safety test and has 6 airbags! An E30 turns into a wet noodle if you hit something. As for him doing something when you arent at the track, we have all done it and learned from it. The good and the bad. He sounds like a good kid to me.
Whatever you do, dont listen to the engine swap guys. Those are the ppl that show up to an event, drive for 40 mins and spend the rest of the event working on their car. I've been there and see it all the time. Keep it easy to maintain. If the engine pops in the FRS, its 2500 bucks and about 5 hours before its ready to go again. The are super easy to work on.
Bring him to a proven track day organizers event with proper instructors or 1 on 1 coaching if you have that dough. There are 14 year olds racing Spec Miata in my region. Like I said in my first post, keep the TC on and dont let him get cocky and he will be fine.
