How safe is a super car is not determined by the car itself, except for mechanical fault - It's all about the driver.
Power is nothing without control.
right on
its the hand and foot that make it safe for the car not the car making it safe for us

I beg to differ

when a driver makes a mistake, whether he can recover depends on how the car handles (or these days how the computer handles). if he cant recover, how good the crumple zone design could mean the difference between life and death. of course, one can debate a v talented driver can recover regardless.
I'd say it's wise to take a forced full driving course before one can actually claim they beloved new super car purchase.
