> higher powered cars are safer (highly questionable)

there's a good correlation (not 1:1 but still, quite good) between car performances and their ability to corner and their braking distance. a fast car driven by an idiot is going to make him more dangerous, but in the hand of an average driver will serve him well in all the emergency maneuver he'll find himself doing.



The second day with my Camaro I had to full on hard brake to avoid a deer. My previous car would have smashed through it.
