With all due respect... I learned by being around high powered rods and sports cars since I was knee high to a grasshopper. It's a family thing. Many of the greats in the dim and distant racing past came to their first great wins on race tracks with only this.
I also have decades of high performance street motorcycle, and dirt riding experience. In my experience, most people tend to make the blanket and false assumption that others cannot possibly have the skill to defeat them (the person assuming) whatever the endeavor. this has been a major downfall for racers, fighters, and even armies and nations. Never assume.
As to 600+ HP on the street.. yes, my car hooks up nicely with my Pirellis.. do I do this often? Nope. My car is for fun driving and cruising 99.99% of the time. Maybe 100% of the time. I have nothing to prove.
The whole concept really reminds me of the "gun control" argument.. you know... how can MERE "average" citizens have the ability or skill to own a military weapon? Perish the thought. Of course they have done so in Canada, perishing even the thought . "They" (insert twilight zone music) are trying here in the states. We Americans often like big motors, voluptous ladies, and giant size pizzas. It's called freedom. If we fail in that responsibility, or allow others to steal our freedom thru false logic, then we will lose it.
