Um, did they forget the 1971 Ford Pinto?? (I used to pray my drums in the back seat would absorb most of the spraying gasoline if I was ever rear-ended.)

I don't agree with the 996 GT2 and the Ferrari F40. Just because the car has lots of power doesn't mean it's dangerous. That's like saying a load gun laying on the table is dangerous. The guy itself is not dangerous. It's the unskilled drivers that makes danger.

I think they are saying the avage driver.
In HK alot of the people that own the fast cars alway crash them, just cant take the heat.

well said. i agree with that. its like people trust you yourself driving, but other drivers around you may not be trusted at all.

Hmmm i think the truth is somewhere in the middle. I agree with both statements but in the end i think the word "danger" is not really appropriate. I mean really i was reading the Skyline comment and i can't really find something that states danger. Only a guy talking about how great the car is, handles, and corners due to the high tech electronics and awd, and how awfull it can be when it hits the fence. Well hell yeah it's awfull but isn't it the same in any car out there? I mean having more tech and more advanced electronics is just safer not dangerous. Or maybe cars that don't have ESP or ABS are safer simply because it will calm the driver down at every wheel spin or wheel brake lock. I don't think so.

The fact that cars that need alot of driving experience, talent and skill are out there does't mean they are dangerous. It just means that not anyone ca drive them fast, and fewer can driver them at the limit. A more proper word should be "cautious" imo and dealers should remind buyers about this.

That top picture is a Shelby Daytona Coupe, not an AC Cobra.

Here is a link showing Hammond from Top gear trying to drive an F1 car - it looks so easy when Shumacher does it.
