They only made Plymouth Superbirds for one year for that same reason.
The Carrera GT is a very different animal. The suspension is set up very stiff (as Porsche said ‘as close to a real race car as you will ever get’). There are a lot of people out there honestly who really don’t know how to drive fast.
It takes skill and the ability to know when approach a turn at the right speed to achieve the apex and maximum velocity going out of a corner, applying just the right amount of gas to keep the tires from spinning. Slow in - fast out.
Mid-engined cars, like rear engined, can have the rear end pop out when foolish with the accelerator (both accelerating and decelerating).
Porsche made another car that was dubbed the widowmaker also, it was the 930 (911 Turbo) in the 70’s up until the car became all wheel drive. Now, you have the 996 GT2 and the Carrera GT holding those titles.
Actually the Superbird was only made for one year in order to homologate it for NASCAR competition. And quite a few of them were converted into regular-issue Road Runners by dealers in order to get them out of their inventory.

*******************************
Superbirds were made for one year and Daytonas were made for one year ,, they were no different than any other RoadRunner except for the aerodynamic aids. They were not made after that limited run because they had served their homologation purpose (qualified as production so they could be raced in NASCAR events)... that’s all.
Even with very limited production many remained on dealer lots unsold , some until 1973.. They were highly impractical and easily damaged. If you had bought one in 1973 for about $3,000 and garaged it you could buy a nice house with acreage for what it would bring now.
