such a requirement would probably kill Porsche's sales in the U.S.
I think the 991 S is over 400 HP standard now. Ditto for the C7
I don't think you can realistically mandate skills for expensive cars in this country.
There are simply too few buyers and even fewer who know what they're doing.
My buddy bought one of the first Vipers, he'd just graduated med school and had zero training behind the wheel. At the time I was stunned that they would just slide the keys over to this nutter without a least a little autocross session in a lot somewhere.
He ended barely driving the car, I suspect he feared it.
