I could only add to your list in that I see some twit driving a 400 bhp high performance vehicle weaving in and out of traffic, I am sure wondering why there are little twitches here and there as the safety systems correct his idiotic driving skills. My 911 won't have 300 bhp, I have spent most of my life in a high performance car and I STILL think that I am barely up to standard to drive my car at any sort of high performance level.
Personally I think there needs to be a higher class of licence required for buying one of the new very high performance machines....they are truly beyond the skills of an average driver.....as the many YouTube video's on "exotic car crashes" bears witness...

I always considered myself a 200bhp man... That was what I felt I could use to the fullest., that was when I had my 944 S...
spent close to 10 years in teh dumps , Porsche less. but had Bmw 1 series with RWD and lot's of torque to keep up the skills. DSC is preferably off..
Nevertheless when I got my Cayman, at 211 bhp (neutered for taxes) I wasn't really fully there in the beginning... It took a while to build back up.. Then undid the tax neutering with a chip tune.. And drove it for 2 years.. including some track days, Ring, Spa, Le Mans.. Rain or Shine.. PSM off.. I was hauling ass on the track..
I think I'm good for 300 BHP now..
And by Good I mean using them to the fullest. Not having to back off because it looks wet outside.. On the contrary, I love driving in the rain.. It helps with my HP Handicap..
First ever lap around the Ring, in the wet , at the infamous Adenauer Forst AKA YouSpinTube spot
