You do have to pay more for those cars, like I said, they are higher end cars. And for an accomplished driver, the difference in premium really isn't going to be that much anyways. Like maybe a couple hundred. And it has less to do with what speed they can do and much more to do with how much it costs to fix them, price of parts etc...
Well that's fair but western society as a whole has agreed that drinking is pretty awesome and it's worth the negatives that come with it. Your analogy applies perfectly to guns. It's tough as hell to take away peoples guns even though it would make plenty of sense to do so.

As for the insurance thing, what I'm saying is if you compare a WRX STI and an equally high end car but one that is not so aimed at performance, I'm fairly certain that the STI will be more expensive to insure, cause you're more likely to do something stupid in it (even though it's probably safer).
