Backend wants to go first? No.... a completely balanced vehicle with wide tires and enough stability nannies that anyone could drive the car. If you turn everything off and don't know what you are doing they can get you in trouble, but.... If you want to drive a corvette civilized it is EASY. They can also get 28-30 MPG reliably if you just set the cruise and go.
One of local autoxer let me race his Z06. When you're racing for time, Z06 like to eat you alive. Even with Hoosier tires... but it was a good experience for sure. Power was crazy... but felt more like ridiculous tq more. That's something cannot get from 2 liter 4 cylinders engine (even with FI).
