And more than the opinion of a 'professional' (who are you going to ask? A young guy?), a test with 2 drivers at the same level of experience (one young, another old) driving the same car on the same track/conditions for one lap would be the only evidence that would change my mind on a STREET CAR. With a race car, and/or endurance in the equation is a no brainer, of course. Take care.
By professional, I mean someone who is conversant with gerontology research (e.g. the effects and consequences of aging). You don't ask anyone--you test, and those tests are all over the literature.
