Agreed. The biggest problem is as people learn to drive cars where the computer is doing the corrections for them we remove the need for a driver's talent and abilities. Setting all things aside such as lap time, speed, etc. and looking at the real "driver ability" is what the root of the discussion stems from. A…

The most fun I've ever had driving was in a 39hp 1981 Leyland Mini. I'm not going to wax poetic but everyone who drools over 700hp should try 39, on a twisty gravel mountain road, on 10-inch wheels. Or just rounding a corner as hard as you can pull the wheel.

I don't want a death-trap supercar, but the above experience…

Or any car for that manner. For too many it seems that a car is only as good as how sewper cewl it can look while drifting.

Thanks for the rebuttal.

Love the article! I see both sides of the argument, but I agree with pretty much every point you made, as I too, wrote a rebuttal to TokyoBay's article. He is, by the way, happy to talk about both sides of the story, and I ended up agreeing with him more than I thought I would.

these people think the limits of supercars, involves drifting them

I was at the Canadian GP. Early in the day they had classic F1 cars running around the track (old turbos and V10s) and it was like being punched in the face with sound and it was amazing. I actually had to go buy ear plugs. When the 2014 cars were racing, the ear plugs were entirely unnecessary and it was really…

But there are also cases where the pilot relies too much on that automation. In spite of the simplicity that the computer affords, a pilot still needs to possess a basic proficiency in flying.

I don't have a license, but it's probably not a wise idea for me to be in the drivers seat of a car to begin with. I'm epileptic.

He was hit by 0 blue shells. I am not impressed.

This? This is Jalopnik.

i had my luxury coupe's horn replaced with a recording of Robin Leach scoffing, just so i could pull up next to you at the light and really drive the point home.

Wish I could find a higher res version of this cartoon. But I think it sums this up pretty well. It's what you get when you let engineers, rather than pilots, make the decision.

I love flying. Hell, I'm hoping to become a pilot in the next couple years here depending on how everything goes. (and not just private. Fly Navy)

Fair enough.

Nothing can prepare you for it. I've driven almost everything on 4 wheels and 2 wheels. From karts, to supercars (the only one I haven't had a spin in yet is the LaFerrari), to Lolas and other race cars. NOTHING prepares you for a Koenigsegg. It combines all the best features of modern supercars and hypercars, IMO.…

Hard work + VERY good investment strategies.

Exactly.

I would suggest that you're in the minority of owners who understand the difference. I've driven each of the cars you mention, and of course I've had a few OK cars of my own — my own view is that the differences between these cars start well above my own skill level. I think that's true for most of their owners, too.
