The vette is still a momentum car, but most (nearly all) owners drive it like a muscle car.
500+hp doesn't bother me... I still advocate driving the car the fastest way it can be (reasonably) driven. Remember, I regularly drive big hp cars with much smaller tires than what you typically see on a vette; it really comes down to developing good throttle control.
