ZL1..Why does everyone..

say a ZL1 is too much car to handle for a 20 year old? I plan on getting one later in the year by thn i'll be 21 , BUT why does everyone say that ? What do you mean by that? By saying is too much power to handle do you mean I wont be able to control it? Someone answer ... last but not least no my parents are not buying me anything , I make pretty good money BUT I will put the insurance under my dads name .

What's the point of this? Not sure why you care about people's opinion on this. Is it really going to impact your decision?

Probably because most remember how reckless they were at that age.

Do a search of wrecked Zl1's and most of them were by seasoned drivers. A guy your age could get in a lot of trouble ( or worse) with a car like that.

I just don't see the point.

Only you can determine whether or not you are capable of handling the power of a sports car and are a responsible driver. What can you expect to learn from people's opinions? It's completely subjective.
