BCisme, his parents insurance company won't care how old he is or who he is, he won't be listed as the owner or primary operater.
But I agree totally. Had my Iroc been pushing 250HP when I FIRST got my license, I would of kissed a pole and snapped my neck. I'm not trying to insult you or anything man, but I hope that you're parents put you in a V6 or early SN95 GT. You are only 16, you shouldn't be worried about having 400hp for your birthday present.
Do it smart, gain experience driving a slower car.
You can compare you're story to an everyday average Joe, going from driving Geo Metro's to a Nascar Winston Cup car at a road course...something just won't fly right.

ok ok, u guys make alot of sense, what cars do you guys recomend? not a high hp engine but not anything slower then a Expedition i wuz thinking a SVT Lightning but again 2 much power, then a Focous SVT but for some reason my dad dosent think there safe enought for me, then a Harley Davidson 2003, high HP but not Mustang HP, i just want a car or truck if its a car i want it to be stick shift, a truck faster then most trucks out there. I perfer a ford since my sister works for ford and can get us a discount so high that we would pay even lower then MSRP. So my choices r a SVT Focous, Mustang w/ 5 speed manual, or a Mach 1. Or are there any other choices out there such as a ewwwwwwww camaro.

BEST WAY TO START IS TO GO WITH A 98 OR BETTER GT OR COBRA.. SHOULD BE ABLE TO GET YOUR HANDS ON ONE WITH LOW MILLEAGE FOR THE LOW TEENS.. WHERE ARE YOU AT.. I PICKED A 98 GT VERT FOR MY GIRL WITH 15000 MILES ON IT AT AUCTION FROM A BMW DEALER WHO COULDN'T GET RID OF THE CAR FOR $9800. I HAVE A DEALERS LICENSE AND BOUGHT IT AT THE ORLANDO AUCTION.. FYI.. AT SIXTEEN WITH A 5 SPEED 200+ HP IS A LOT AND MUST BE RESPECTED AND LEARNED.. EXPED.S ARE NICE, BUT YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT KIND OF POWER 200 + IS IN A RELATIVELY SMALL CAR... PLUS YOUR IN HIGHSCHOOL AND I KNOW MY CAR CAUGHT DAMAGE IN HIGHSCHOOL PARKING LOTS IE TONS OF DOOR DINGS... </P>

Get a 5 speed DOHC Saturn. No joke. I've got mine down to 15's (ok, 16.001 with fog on the track, otherwise 15 second car) for hardly anything, it's fun to drive, and it' easy on the gas and insurance.
And yes, it rips the ***** off most imports.

Well i wuz thinking a 98+ Cobra 5 speed. Now a saturn is sounding pretty good but i like the celicas, how u guys like em? u guys heard any news on the celicas? i mean any bad news like engine trouble and stuff like that.

I would recommend a 5 speed GT for you. Even a LS1 Z28 might be alittle too peppy for you at the moment. A Mach1 would be suitable for you too.
