Getting my kids a monstrously heavy car to come out on top during collisions

Hey monkeys, my son is turning 17 soon and I'm getting him his first car, although we're far from the likes of rednecks in Texas/Alabama who wear cowboy hats, jeans and plaids (I work at MM HF in NYC and went to Andover/Exeter/Deerfield -> WHYP), he's someone who's very into cars and would want either a big pickup truck or a sports/muscle car. I'm leaning towards getting him a huge-ass truck just so if idiot drivers are driving anything smaller than a fully loaded container truck or a massive bus, he'll come out on top in any collision. Same for if he drinks & drives or texts & drives and collides with some peasant in a sedan that's like 1/4th the weight of a Hummer EV. 

I did some research and found that the new Hummer EV is a massive son of a bitch and weights like 9600lbs (for reference, a Mercedes G Wagon is 5500lbs, Ford F350 is 6600lbs), which is heavier and larger than pretty much any non-commercial road legal vehicles and is actually heavier than some small school buses as well as military Humvees by a couple thousand pounds. The Hummer EV is also pretty luxurious and high-performing, I think the spec sheet says it goes from 0-60 in 3 seconds flat with 1000hp. 

I think dropping a solid $130K for a loaded Hummer EV for my kid isn't a bad idea given it's a pretty posh car while being pretty much as safe as a production car can be. Can someone sanity-check this idea?
