Does the 370Z make you a safer or wreckless driver compared to other cars?

So if you drive multiple cars do you find yourself driving differently in the 370Z compared to other cars? What do you find yourself doing? It could go either way, maybe you take less risks because you don't want to damage the car or you think the police pay closer attention. The other extreme, is the car is just to much fun to not punch it whenever you can.
The 370 makes me the same driver with a better piece of equipment. It has rekindled a driving passion I have not had for a few years. I can drive the car faster than my last sports cars, so I do. I also care about cars again. For years I did not follow magazines such as "Road and Track", now I do again. So mentally the 370 has made me younger of spirit. I needed an oil cooler so I guess I fall into the, car is just to much fun to not punch it whenever you can, crowd, but not in town.
