When I drive mine, I never worry about it getting away from me, but I'm a pretty tame driver. Frankly, I don't think our babies are significantly more dangerous than any other 50 year old car in stock form.
My '62 convertible has the original un-assisted drum brakes, padding on the dash, and no rollbar. Never mind air bags, over-the-shoulder seat belts, anti-lock brakes, electronic stability control, etc. When I transition from the Pontiac to my wife's Audi, the difference is stunning.
