Going to this layout has its advantages and disadvantages and I’ll maintain that handling was not the main point of this exercise. Putting down 600-800hp without traction issues and furthering the Corvette’s ability to run with competition 2-4x its price will be much easier this go around.
The C8 platform will mature. I have zero doubts there is loads of performance yet to untapped. They are saving it for future models. Mid corner understeer can easily be remedied. I personally think they put that in the base car for a reason, safety. They don't want everyone pulling a Mustang out of every cars and coffee once first batches are delivered.
