You have just highlighted what I consider to be one of the biggest safety benefits of sports cars. In regular traffic, exceptional acceleration, handling, and braking coupled with an alert and competent driver, can save the day.
There have been several times when being able to count on my car to quickly accelerate at a moments notice has been all that saved me (and the cars around me) from a wreck, when someone else does something completely unexpected and dangerous.
Congrats on making a good call!
