> I will say that I would trust my brother and most of his friends (15 years old) driving a ZR1, than I will trust the RPI kid who I sold my Ford Focus to (got his permit 2 days beforehand, but had been driving for years in China.) as far as road safety goes. I have never been so scared in a vehicle. Once again operator is equal or more important than the vehicle selection.

That is very true that the operator is the biggest factor.

However when a random person asks you on the internet whether or not they should buy a high hp car as their first vehicle would you recommend it? Or knowing that the vehicle is more of a handful than a slower car you would say that they are better off starting smaller? When you know nothing about the operator, his habits or his skill you have to take him out of the equation, and at that point you’re just comparing a high hp race vehicle vs something more mild to learn on.

Sbardy is going off on his own little tangent. There are plenty of people that start on plenty fast bikes and thats fine. However they are more risky and more of a handful and just on that factor alone I wouldn’t ever **_recommend it_**.

Could still do it? Sure why not, see if I care. :lol
