Dragonitti - you seem to be trying to paint a weird picture of the world. Do you not recognize that there is a class of driver between the grannies driving 10 under the speed limit and the guys who dump their clutch at every stop light?

I have driven plenty of performance cars, I drive spiritedly, I occasionally use 100% of any car's horsepower - and I never dump my clutch. I suspect 95% of drivers are similar.

It is possible to drive spiritedly in the real world, use all of a car's horsepower, and never "dump the clutch".

There is a world of performance and spirited enjoyment of sports cars in the real world outside of the drag strip.
