Lucky kid for sure. Can't say that I would trust a 16 year old with a car like that though. I had an 87 IROC when I was in high school and I remember the stupid s#!t I used to do in that 220 HP monster. I can only imagine what would have happened to me had someone given me 500 HP 
Not sure I'd be typing this post right now. Anyway, I'm sure the kid doesn't mind. I sure as heck would have been happy.

its not the money issue im concerned about, its this -
your 86GT = 15's 1/4 = lol
his GT500 = 12's 1/4 = not suitable for 16 Y/O
its a bit different
+1
Hopefully the kid is responsible and if he does anything "stupid" hopefully he does it on a empty road.
It's all about maturity, IMO.
Some don't take the car seriously and they wreck it or lose their licenses.
You can go fast enough in Yugo to kill yourself so hp really does not matter, its self discipline.
And it's 15.2@ 89mph to be exact! AOD, hollowed cats and 4:10's!:lol1:
The young man had to earn the respect of his parents to get that ride.
My daughter is asking for a Range Rover Sport.... If I could afford it, she'd have it.... But....
If he's earned it, more power to him!!

my bro got a vette at 17 bc he got a free ride to school,,,,so the cash my dad would have spent on school bought him his vette. He doent speed, no tixs he is now 19. not every young kids a dumb ass..
I had a 600rwhp 03 cobra at 19, but would have killed myself with a 440rwhp gt500 at 15.5.
+1..... I am 20 years old and drive a GT500. Its amazing what happens if you dont act like a dumbass during your whole childhood!
More power to him for getting a car like that.
Hope the car does the trick for him with the girls, for the last few months i had my 01 at school no one knew who drove it, i always had to stay aftrerwards in the parking lot to wait for my brother to get out of wrestling everyday. I hope senior year goes better.

Matter of opinion. How exactly does a 15 year old "earn" a 50K car, plus insurance and gas? By doing his homework, mowing the lawn and maintaining a decent GPA? Treating his parents with respect?
Those things should all be normal and expected behaviors.
Let's call it what it is. Parents with lots of money and indulging the kid. Which is fine. And I agree the kid seems level headed.
But, there is something to be said for gratification deferred. My son is almost 15. Mows the lawn. Is very respectful of adults. Has a job at the park district. Plays 3 musical instruments and has a 3.8 GPA. He won't even be driving my GT500. On the other hand, I've been contributing to a college fund since he was born and will put him through med school if he shows the initiative. Then he can buy his own GT500.

wait a second i take back my statement, hes only 15 so he has gone through one year of highschool which is the start of your life pretty much. I cannot think of anyting that he could have done that he would not have mentioned to deserve something like that. I hope it doesnt go to his head.
I have a feeling it would be child abuse.
So ....mommy and daddy bought a fat kid a car. I'm sure he worked real hard to earn his parents respect by 15. Just another spoiled kid....whats the big deal? Not a hater...just someone who belives anyone under 18 shouldn't have a car that can run 11-12's. I'm sure his parents will buy him some safety mods like a pully and a tune real soon.:beer:

Its a 40k vehicle, not a freaking ferrari.
whats the big deal. Tons of kids get new Tahoes and such, which can be just as expensive.
Its just a mustang folks

I guess all 15 year old kids get 40k vehicles? :shrug: Besides, him being around 16, he's going to go out with his "friends" who will talk him into doing burnouts, he'll shoot off sideways and hit a wall. The point is how can you give a kid a car that has the ability to go that fast as their first car? Do I need to remind you of the M5 story with the 16-17 year old kid?
Little off topic; but something like that happened here. Kid's parents bought him a brand new 350z for christmas; he told then he wanted it to be a different color and six speed so they got him that one a few months later. :bash: It was so funny because when he was talking he actually sounded pissed off that his parents bought him a new car (along with several "mods" for it as his gift) and it wasn't the right color.
