I think the point was that he intimated that his parents were helping him buy the car. If he doesn't need their help then he should do whatever he wants. But if he is living with them and they are helping with the purchase, it's only right that he take their opinions to heart.
Bottom line imo is if you can buy the Z and not strap yourself financially then go for it. But if you have to kill yourself to make payments then it's just a dumb idea. Especially for a car that is not what most would put into the "practical" category.
As far as young people driving hot sports cars, everybody's different. If you have good mental discipline you won't have a problem. But you have to respect what these cars can do, and realize your own limitations as a driver, so you don't kill yourself and others. If you are a hot head prone to road rage or have a reckless personality you better watch yourself because this car will get you into serious trouble in a heartbeat.
