I would agree with you, vette is not the thing to have in high school, if its an older one and you don't mind destroying it, then I guess its not bad, but IMHO, an EVO or WRX is about as fancy as I'd go while in high school.

Are you a trust fund kid?

Do you plan on going to college?

What is your driving record? Tickets, accidents?

Have you ever owned/driven (without incident) a 350+ HP car?

And finally, I have to ask this old cliche but... If your uncle told you to jump off a bridge.... And you know the rest.

Answer the above questions and I will approve or deny your request for a Corvette.
