Gosh I remember my 98 M roadster had a snappy rear end and that only had 240 hp...

Agreed. That's why I was never all that concerned when they said the car would have 360-370 hp (the regular M2 that is). I drove the M235i and that was more than quick enough. Hell my 240hp E36 M3 feels fine for everyday driving.
That's why cars like the Z06 and GTRs don't interest me all that much. When the hell are you going to get to use them? I'd much rather have a car like an M2 or a GT4.
