I understand perfectly - you are sayign because they are as fast as past race cars they are race cars.
That's plain wrong.
They are street cars with powerful engines.

Does not make a difference.
These cars only go fast is you make them go fast - they dont go fast on their own.

The term super car denotes "potential preformance" - not "default performance".

Why not?
You just need to display self control.
Does your stereo have a volume control? If you listen to a 500W steroe at 10% can you hear it? If you turn it up to 100% and go deaf, is that the stereo fault or YOUR fault?

So only soldiers should have guns? And DJ's big stereos?

Wrong.
On 1,045 levels.. but I will just approach 2.
First - what about someone who buys a car used? They wont get the "training" - so the idea wont work.
Second - just because you are "trained" does nto mean you will put the training into practice.
Again - you choose to hit the gas... no one else.
