Not Ranked
I like the class idea but really the people that are the problem with the insurance and these cars are not those that take classes, participate in clubs, forums and other things of the sport. The people are just like mentioned earlier probably getting more than the bargained for. The only tough thing is weeding them out. The rates for these cars are extremely fair right now so getting a discount over and above for taking the course would probably not fly. Taking the course to keep the good rates probably would. Similar to the safety course and insurance credits given for State Cycle classes.
Mark asked about insurance rates and yes they do take the things you mentioned into consideration but they also consider damage repairablity. The harder or more costly a car is to repair damage this also determines a rating. Back in the 70's some car manufacturers kind of fibbed on engine to HP ratios just to keep insurance costs down and sell cars. The "sports car" was a no thank you in the eyes of the insurance company.
