Sure it's *easier* to hit triple digit speeds with 600hp car than a 100hp car but in no way does that make the driver do so.
Yeah that was the point I'm making lol.

When you have mini-vans with 300hp and your have fresh out of high-school 18 year olds can jump into a 400hp 5.0 Stang that can crack mid 12's in the 1/4 mile all day everyday people tend to use it and abuse it. Cars as a hole have just become stupidly more powerful than they where 10-20 years ago.

It really comes down to what you and most of us agree upon. The maturity of the driver
