I was 18 when I first bought my XR6T. I have had no problems with the law and being able to control myself when behind the wheel. Yeah sure, I have given it a boot off the lights every now and then, but all in all, I consider myself to be a safe driver who respects the power of the car. inowereyoulive, they are a great car. Mine has 272rwkw and its very driveable. Generally traction isnt too much of an issue. Its pretty ordinary in the wet but that's a given. Insurance for myself is $1700 a year. I am a 19y/o living in SE Queensland.
