The Vette has a removable top and is fast enough for me. It is extremely relaxing to drive, which is good for me because I'm pretty tightly wound. Again, I LOVED the HC but it wasn't a good fit for me.

You get to a certain power threshold and it becomes too much to drive comfortably. It's pretty common.
Im reminded of a story told by one of my customers. He's a huge Ford GT lover and he collects them. He was able to score a sweet deal on a new Ford GT (they had JUUUST been introduced) because the original owner had it for about a month. The original owner chirped the tires a bit too much just while doing some daily driving, and he lost control, almost putting it into a stop light.
After that, the owner was too scared to drive it. He didn't want anything to do with car and my customer flew to Canada and bought essentially a brand new Ford GT at a well discounted price. It was simply too much car for the original owner.
Hell, we deal with that at our shop. In terms of power, there's what customers THINK they want, and then what customers ACTUALLY want.
