Was it a downstream consequence of the bump in power and torque? Understeer budget or breakaway characteristics reasons and the Alpha chassis? Appearance? Other?

Very interesting question!
From the engineers' standpoint, a detailed response could speak a lot about the Alpha platform dynamics and LT1 power to the ground!
