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.

it was a little scary at first having a shit ton of power under my foot. You just respect the power, you will be okay. I've taken friends/family/neighbors for a little fun ride. I have got a move down. I do a power slide into a corner and letting the car go 100% as we come out of the slide. I've usually not told them I'm getting ready to do that move.
I quit doing that because some were genuinely scared. Not that I screwed up the driving part but they had never ridden in a car with this much power, noise and speed. Scared them. Freaked me out too first time also.
These cars are not for everyone. You have to know restraint or you will end up killing yourself.
