The C7 was most likely better than the C6 in every way, but the reviewers for the C8 seemed more placating than genuinely excited.

This is also the
Media Entertainment Industrial Complex we are talking about here.
I'll reserve judgment until I can see for myself or actual enthusiast content.
Would not shock me to see butthurt journalists looking to nitpick and cry or just being edgy and snooty for personnel validation and revenue.
Understeer doesn't surprise me. It's a base model and GM doesn't want to see a slew of snap oversteer crashes.
C7 ZR1 and Z06 are comptely different then a regular Stingray.
