I was not thinking about the F-1 type Ferrari (that is more like flying a fighter jet) but more like any high performance car.

the MD-11 may not be a "dangerous" airplane as it has managed thousands of perfectly good landings. but, just the fact that you need specific training and honned skills does imply that the plane is less forgiving than your average 737 or... 747 (to stay in the "heavy" category). Since the error margin is narrower, it just becomes more difficult in tight situations.

BMWs are not dangerous and anyone can drive them easily but, you do need a better than average driver to take one fast on a snowy road...
