My car has 400ish hp and weights about 3600 lbs. The power feels like more than enough. Will I maybe add more in the future? Maybe. Is it necessary? Decisively not. That's the fun of it though.

Exactly. My C6 weighs around 3100 lbs with slightly more than 460/460 to the wheels. Bigger tire out back with good rubber, and it grips pretty good. Plus my wife will ride in this one with me. Some of the other cars I have had she would not get in after one trip.
After all the others I have owned...I find this one to be plenty. Maybe it's because I am getting older!
Edit: But I did get to take a drive in a friends modified GTR where traction isn't an issue and it was very impressive.
