Fortunately I don't have that problem but if I did I would not do it until the kid had had proper high performance driving tuition and lots of skid pan use, and shown promise in handling high performance cars - and then only allow it when I was in the car with him.

I would also discuss this with his mother and get her opinion.

I would also join him on all the driving courses as a father son bonding exercise and to up my skills.

I would also severely limit throttle travel the first few times we went out together and then ease off the limit as he became more trustworthy over the next ten or twenty outings.

I could think of nothing worse then the guilt of losing him in the car as no matter whether you were right or wrong in allowing him to use it, you and your wife will blame you for the decision - most probably destroying your marriage and your happiness.
