To the OP, you seem like a responsible young man and are asking the right questions. We live in a nice area with some very affluent people and many of these kids are driving BMW, Lexus, Infinity, GTI, Mustang, etc. It is what it is. If you have the means and are responsible, I say go for it. The good news is that while the twins are quick, they are not a Mustang GT, Camaro SS, Dodge Challenger type of quick.
That said, just keep in mind that you are in a very targeted age group. One accident or a few tickets will skyrocket your insurance. I know this from experience. My first car in 1988 was a Mazda RX-7. I got a speeding ticket and an accident (my fault, minimal damage, but another ticket and points) within 12 months, and my insurance doubled. State Farm threatened to drop me, but my father was personal friends with the agent and he told me to either clean up my act or he would drop me.
So just be aware of that. Also, if possible, you may want to consider a gently used FR-S if you can find one. Teens tend to beat on cars and if you can save your parents a few grand it makes sense.
