Taking a drunk's car will make it more difficult for him to do it again. Period.
In neither case is the punishment 0 nor 100% effective.
On topic, I have an issue with a 76 year old driving at all.

So many generalizations here. Lots of people learn their lesson, be it with a DUI or Street Racing. The argument about effectiveness is bang on, but then nothing is perfect.
Anyways, the law exists not to target Street Racers, but to remove dangerous drivers from the roads, sure it may have been initiated because of street racers, but thats likely just the straw that broke the camel's back. But thats why its called the "Safer Roads Act" and has a wide list of infractions.
Dude doing 130 = Dangerous Driver as described in the act.
Who cares how old Gramps is? He broke a very reasonable law and I hope they crush his 1977 Buick LeSabre while he is forced to watch.
David Suzuki will throw the switch on the compactor while emitting a hilariously high-pitched cackle and dancing a jig.
