Amen to that. In my experience I'd say that the even machinery from the fifties had higher ultimate limits than most of the drivers of those machines. Same holds true today, even more so. I had a 66 Shelby GT350, a great ballsy car that took some skill to drive. My last SHO did most of the things the Shelby did with ridiculous ease and what seems like less skill.

The difference between then and now is that modern machinery is generally much better than the pilot. Once someone in, say, a VW Golf gets into a sticky situation (which they even more often didn't see developing) generally they are so far outside their own performance envelope the result is disastrous. Older vehicles would give you earlier warning at a lower speed. You then had a choice....... > > BTW I agree completely.
