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.
I've driven things with more power (never owned anything over 250hp though until my modded brz) including a 370, g37, gtr, r34, mustang gt500, corvettes and at no point while driving those did I feel they were more FUN than in the BRZ. Did they have more power, speed... yes. Were they more fun to drive aside from in a straight line? not to me anyways, something very attractive to me having a 300+hp go kart. To each is own I guess but I don't know you don't feel as connected to the car with bigger GT type cars and heavy b*tches like the 370 that's just my opinion though.
