Drive it and enjoy it, that's what I do.
If someone messes with it, kick their butt (that's what we do in TEXAS).

Haven't check it in awhile but I'm thinking about 8 -10 with my GMC 3/4 ton and open trailer. No, I don't want to think about it.
The white car has like 17K on it......guess its needs to be driven huh......why not!

I just finished a road trip back from Titusville, Florida, on the 1st of April, to Estero, Florida, and came back later in the afternoon on the 2nd. I was there for a 100 Years of Chevrolet celebration.

That trip was 4 hours/300 miles (door to door ONE WAY), and a half tank of gas. I averaged 75 mph...all this in a 1982 Corvette.
Good thing for bathroom breaks (two) along the way, each way...because that car will let u know you're in a Corvette! 
Purred like a kitten as well...but the best thing about driving it that kind of distance is the thumbs-up and rubber necking that goes on when someone appreciates that era of Corvette.
Will I drive the car farther and longer? Probably not...for this trip even messed with my instincts of feeling 'safe and reliable' with such a vehicle. But it was darn fun pushing out my limits beyond previously set boundaries!
I would go with what your mind and fear factor allows you to do. Rely on instincts as well...so far that has pretty much gotten me though when drivng my '82. Its a 'feel' for sure, as far as my limits go...but as for others...who knows!
Drive it as much as you can I suppose...limits are made to be broken!
