As opposed to the landed gentry who buy Corvettes and immediately have the power steering removed? All modern cars lean on technology. I am certain that a real noob in a GT-R will be beaten by a Spec Miata with the proper driver any day. Take the wrong line at speed and you can't get around a corner quickly. Even in GT-R.

People who lap tracks on foot look down on folks on horseback, I suppose.

Most people don't consider owning "Jacuzzi City" off the Jersey Turnpike to be "old money", by the way.
