My last car was like that and then every time I borrowed my dad's mercedes I'd constantly do stupid unecessary overtakes just because I could. It's a moral hazard - I don't think a faster accelerating car is safer because people drive those differently.

Of course you have to hold yourself back, but where I live there's plenty of really nice stretches of road where you can overtake. But with my car while I'm accelerating some guy in an Audi or a BMW already decides to overtake from the back.. overtaking with a better car feels much less stressful and safer.
