The biggest problem with modern startlingly fast vehicles (whether they are SUVs, mustangs, AWD sporty cars, or Porsches) is that all of the nannies in the world aren't going to save you from physics. If you get the thing up to 120mph and come up on a corner that under perfect circumstances with a pro driver would only support 90mph, no nanny is going to get you around the corner.
One argument is that the same issue affects more pedestrian vehicles. But, of course, it's harder and less likely to get into the same situation in a far, far less capable vehicle.
