I say start with a car with low power, but lots of potential... cheaper on insurance, and lets them learn the car while making it faster...

I would rather have a car that I made fast, instead of buying one that was already fast...

Unless of course I bought a fast car, and made it even faster... but now im rambling and not making any sense...

Cool

Get the most reliable unit possible so as to stay on road as much as time as possible.Practice, practice, practice! Learn real car control-much more important than horsepower.Learn to make your car dance then worry about moving up.High entry and exit speeds from corners make up for alot of horsepower differential.
