I've never got to thrash any exotica, unless you count a full horse 600 brake Skyline as exotica, but for a few brief years I got to larrup around on public roads at daft speeds for work. IIRC 158 was my "record". After a spell of that you soon get this malarkey out of your system and start to appreciate cars for their other virtues. Damon Hill is of the same ilk - ex F1 world champion, famously drives a knackered old Audi A3 with 130,000 miles under its belt. Fast cars don't interest him at all.
Conversely, I love motorbikes, but sods law says I'm not a natural bike rider. My talents and training lie with cars, which is a bummer because they don't turn me on. one of lifes ironic twists of fate.
