Should require proof of being able to handle such a powerful car before one can drive it.

Drug runners special. Bootleggers backup.

That seems to be a HP to weight ratio requiring a professional driver on a race track. Some of these supercars have different keys that run a different program when used. The Mustang Boss has a red key for the race track for example.

I live in a retirement community. At least half of the people here should have to prove they can handle any vehicle...even a golf cart...or a walker.

They should bring ‘Dukes of Hazard’ back using these cars. At $70k+ each it may be a little rich for them to destroy.

One tap on the gas on a wet road and the rear end is likely to try to become the front. Long ago I had a 1970 Firebird (that’s right, 1970) with a powerful engine and no emission controls that did that. Yes, I’m an old fart.

My doctor just bought a Shelby. It came with driving lessons at a road track to teach him how to handle the car under racing conditions.

When I see these type of high speed cars out on the roads I call them expensive suicide cars for organ donors. If only they would just kill themselves, but there always seems to be some collateral damage.

Just trying to keep up with the Joneses, in the sense that electric car acceleration can easily be made incredible.

I have a ‘69 Mustang running about 400 ponies through a C4 into 4:11 rear gears. I call her “Bad Manners” because she is so unpredictable.

My winter project is trading the C4 (which I blew up last fall) for an AOD and a rebuilt original 9-bolt with 3:55 gears. It will be interesting to see how she behaves.

The legend of the 1965 427 Cobra was that there were a few people who went to the dealer to test drive them and didn’t come back alive. Basically you could buy what was arguably the fastest production car on the planet at your local Ford dealer.
