To your point, a lot of people have been lucky to live through giving into that temptation of power and speed, and they came away from the experience unscathed. That's not always given, and people believe they are "safe" by enjoying their car like that only occasionally. The risk is always the same, and to not have an incident is sheer luck. Most people have no experience handling a car at those speeds, which makes the situation even worse.
It's behavior that shouldn't be encouraged or condoned and I'd think responsible Camaro owners would agree
a lot of us aren't blameless by any means, but the older we get, we learn how to mitigate those risks and realize there were better ways of enjoying the power/speed of fast cars. Keep it at the track, don't be reckless or negligent. If you want to drive like that, great, go LEARN how to do it the proper way, but don't unleash your undeveloped test pilot skills on the street. Please.
Clearly we haven't been posting enough mangled Copart examples of Camaros torn to pieces and bagged with biohazard stickers lately. It starts to make sense when you witness or experience the trauma of an incident at high speed.
