Are our Slants "Unsafe"?

new cars are definitely safer packed with their safety technology but I find it ironic that manufactures make many cars way too powerful. (My Dad's Acura TL is like a rocket ship). Newer cars are easy to drive thus enabling drivers to go too fast, follow too close, zip around corners, park without looking and my personal favorite, race to the red-light. Speed kills.
Most of us who drive A-bodies try to compensate by knowing the capabilities of our car; braking, accelerating, cornering ability and having a total awareness to where everybody else is on the road because if hit we're screwed.
