More torque delivered to the wheels increases the chances of power oversteer. Especially with a car like a corvette or a viper that produces a lot of torque even at very low rpm.
More difficult to handle for an inexperienced driver, perhaps...

But to anyone that knows wtf they are doing there is no difference.
