I know this is not really my place to be telling you such things, but talk it over carefully with your folks first.
If there is one thing that's obvious, it's that people should buy really expensive stuff they cannot afford as young as possible. I mean, you want to be able to enjoy it right? What's the point of being 50 and having a million in the bank? No reason to save money when everyone knows the cool die young

Which by the way, did you read my post about replacing all the rims with doughnut tires? Much easier to drift.

Dude, there is no way you can beat a tC in a 370z, sorry. Sometimes we just have to know our limits.

I heard that you can add 20hp per lb shaved off wheels/tires. Donuts would help you in this regard.
