I'm no prima donna, but I've spoken out on this issue before. I am very judicious about my spirited driving, for several excellent reasons. I've loved motoring for for more than thirty years now, and this car has taught me much about driving. It takes two hands and two feet to drive my car. No less.
Goes without saying: Our cars are different because you can get to a whole new level of danger, very quickly. By the way, 60 mph is 80 feet per second.
A pet peeve: Drivers who can follow at less than one car length (or two) at 80 fps, simply do not understand the physics involved in motoring. I am certain that I have avoided tickets on many occasions because the following distances I choose are long.
People do have a false sense of security when motoring. They do. They feel much safer than they are.
I am always in complete control of my vehicle. I noticed very early that this car's limits are not to be trifled with on public roads. I go to those limits ONLY on a track.
