They are not driving Camry's or Impalas. They are driving cars that excel in accident avoidance and safety.
A good driver does not exist without a good car.

Horseshit. My 1962 Ford Falcon was over 40 years old and was never in an accident, so apparently it was more than "safe" enough to survive for decades on the roads (including modern highways around modern cars at modern speeds).
I've never crashed a car and I've had SUVS, pickups old "unsafe" cars and cars that were'n designed to handle, as well as cars that were. I've got quite a few SCCA trophies, and some came in cars that YOU would call crappy. A good driver exists SEPARATE from their car and doen't need a good car to BE good. In fact, I'd postulate that if a driver NEEDS a good car to be good, then they aren't all that good at all.
Add to that all the "good" cars that have crashed and had fatalities, and I'd say your theory is all wrong. otherwise there'd be no accidents/fatalities in sports cars and exotics.
