My personal 2 cents and please feel free to ignore me. If you want your son to truly appreciate his 1st sports car, don't buy it for him. If you want to be a great car Dad let him co-drive your RWD car at autox and hpde events. If you're nice enough to buy him a car to get around, buy him a used FWD car with a manual trans. One that's relatively safe and not too much power.

From personal experience I took a lot of pride in purchasing my first sports car with money I earned. Friends who were given things (nice cars) growing up never had the same appreciation for them. 90%-95% of teenagers who like to drive are going to turn the traction off at some point with RWD and most likely sail it off the road. Not saying that is what your boy would do.

If you really want him to love driving and become a hot shoe, get him into kart racing. Again this is just my opinion.
