You only live once - get the Z06, wreck it, then buy the RS4 with the insurance payout and get a lesson in moderation for free.

ZO6's are a fast car with style. The RS4 on the other hand is very stylish, very comfortable and livable with, and of course it is 4wd and fast! RS4 is what I would get.

I'm not gonna bust your balls about getting a $75K car as a college graduation present. One of my closest college buddies got a Viper, and he is one of the more down-to-earth guys I know. Not everyone sticks to a simple formula (i.e. nice shit from parents = spoiled brat). BUT, where, exactly, is home in the "islands?" I've been to and driven on many Caribbean islands, and none of them are suitable for either of these cars, IMO. None of the roads there that I have seen are anywhere near big enough, long enough, well-maintainned enough, etc., etc. for a 420-505hp low-slung sports sedan/car. Why not just keep the S for the top-down factor and get a sporty SUV (X5), or non-sporty SUV (Wrangler)???

Whichever one you choose, I predict a wrecked car thread in the future. Dude, you're 23. You really think you can handle a 500 hp sportscar?

Mommy and daddy buying it for you?
Nope, mommy and daddy just want me to finish school, Son has to sell his S2k and finance money back home to get the money to get the car here. Son just wants a nice car to take back home without paying taxes for importation, thats why Son wants a nice car. To bad mommy and daddy don't want to help, but if they do son still has to work for the money when son back.

Curacao, roads are really decent compared with other islands, long enough you have a point there but there are roads. Top down, I have my caprice to chill. I'm leaning more towards the RS4. And 505hp is to much? A friend of mine has a supra thats putting around 1k bhp and he drives it with no problems back home, but can never take the car to its fullest.
