I just don't see much point in it on public roads. What's the point of risking my life and possibly someone elses? All it takes is some little thing go wrong...a tire blowout, an animal running out on the road, who knows what could happen.
Plus at 16(17 in like 6 days but doesn't matter) getting caught going the speeds listed on here...man that would hurt. That'd be like what? A MASSIVE fine, probably license taken away till 18, and if I didn't i'd probably lose the keys to the car for anything besides work and school. Hell I might not even get them for that.
But on a track i'm all for it. Push that baby to the limit if you want. Just my 2 cents. Oh and the Autobahn, as long as your not being a moron then I wouldn't see a problem with pushing the car there either.
Oh and SMAT? Maybe i'm not so smart! haha.
