Again, the majority of us ALREADY HAVE.

You clearly can't, you've never raced against a supercar. But some of us have. Some of us have been to racing schools, some of us hold track/racing licenses, and sorry to burst your bubble, pushing a stock R33 to its limits is for children and dilettantes. Some of us who have built 600+bhp cars actually know what they handle like on real roads, at full power, at serious speeds (over 150mph is when the games truly begin). Some of us have driven our TUNED SKYLINES in anger without restraint against cars like the Carrera GT and LP640, and know that it is skill that made us win or lose (I've both won and lost, and it wasn't the car, it was the steering wheel gasket). Some of us know how our cars react as small road ripples start to throw the car around at 165mph, how to keep the car tidy under such Nordschliefe-like conditions, and how to exploit the particular weaknesses of "top level supercars" (every one of them has one) because we've run against them or driven them ourselves, again at REAL speeds.
By the way Sidious, take your three statements and hand them to Nicolas Kiesa. I'm sure he'll agree that A: he did not build a worthy car and B: he does not have the skill to drive it. I guess driving for Minardi or the DTM isn't good enough for you.
