I guess it all depends on your son. His driving skills, his respect for what these cars can do!! We were driving & romping @ 17 yrs old in csx 2058, csx 2372 & CSX 3116. Not to mention GT 350's & 500's, Jag's, Vette's, 300SEL's. We were blessed with acess to a awsome collection of rides & also damm lucky to stay alive on more than one occasion. Yes, we lost a few tires & engines racing. But we never racked one up into a tree etc. If you believe your son is ready after a little self teaching on the merits of a AC & you feel secure in his skills. Let him try a short day cruse & progress from there. Good luck to both of you.
