Am I the only one who feels this way?

Luckily, this newer generation (I guess I get to say that now at 28) doesn't really care about high horsepower domestics anymore. I don't think there's going to be a ton of angry football players driving around in 2011 GT's. I think it'll still be the same Civics and so on keeping Darwin employed.

In all my years working collisions I've seen more fatal and serious injury collisions in trucks and family vehicles than sports cars. You learn in the accident investigation schools that power isn't the killer, it all boils down to kinetic energy. How much the car weighs coupled with how fast it is going at the time gives you an incredible amount of kinetic energy which has to be dissipated when things go wrong.
If anything I think sports cars are slightly safer than any other high powered vehicle in the hands of an inexperienced driver because they offer that slight edge in handling when things do go wrong.
In any case I think the only true comfort you can have on the road is being a very defensive driver and always being on the look out for that knuckle head who is only out running the grim reaper by a few seconds.

If they really, and I mean REALLY teach people how to drive in the first place, it would be a big help.
As it is, it's a real joke about how you get your License in this Country.
Also staying OFF the f****** cell phone and using the turn signal once in a while, would improve things greatly.

As stated by other posters, I don't think you'll find too many teenagers able to afford a new Mustang GT. And, if somehow they or their parents decide to swing it, at least they'll be getting a car that has standard stability control, front and side airbags, ABS, and handles well. Around here, most HS kids are driving pick-ups and SUVs, which I would regard as far more dangerous to the motoring public (as in me) than a few more Mustangs on the road.

That said, my friends and co-workers often criticize me for being too cautious on the road. Better safe than sorry is my policy when passengers are involved.
