What is happening here is "Reverse age discrimination". I happen to be the father of a 15 year old. I have had him out "training" in my SRT6 several times. He KNOWS the power of the vehicle. He also knows physics. If Mr. Ebbs is good with school, math, physics, is responsible, and gets the feel of the SRT6 "with training", he should be than able to handle it. Granted the insurance cost will be hard to swallow, because insurance companies legally do age-discrimination. But, as far as Dad is concerned, if he is properly trained with the car, exercises and knows the capabilities and drawbacks, doesn't get into any snap oversteer issues while hitting corners (too much speed entering into it), then he should be given a chance to drive his own SRT6, paid for with his own money. TRAINING, and TRUST, Dad..... Training and trust..... If he doesn't have both, it won't work out for either party. Let the kid learn.... he will make a few mistakes. So long as they aren't BIG mistakes that leave him maimed for life.... and he will probably take good care of the SRT6..... The biggest danger he might have after training is that he might get laid more often from females that are attracted to guys with fast cars..... That would be the NEXT phase of his training... of a different type though. Stick with SRT6 training first.
