Not that a porsche is the best option but I know kids who go way over in minivans, Kia sorentos, we had a girl get her licenses suspended for 90 in a 75 in her 2014 Cherokee. We've had kids get in wrecks in accords, Mazdas, and jeeps all from speed. If a kid is going to drive stupid they will anyways, however peer pressure is stronger In a sports car.

The way I see it though, a majority of teenagers I know go between 10 to 15 over with a decent amount pushing it to 20 or 25. Roads a 35 skinny country road most teens go 45 to 60. Considering this, it may be safer to put your kids in a car that is composed at these speeds.
