For a stopgap, the C7 was a great product! It's hard to look at the C7 with what we have in the C8 now( ignoring the mid-engine factor). Like comparing the C8 interior to the C7's.
But viewing the C7 during the timeframe it was available and not having the C8 distorting ones view, it was a great vehicle despite the limited funds they had it developing it. Again viewing the C7's interior independently, it was an awesome interior and a huge upgrade for the Corvette. No longer had to make excuses for it( you're not buying the 'Vette for the interior).
The only big issue exclusive to the C7 Corvette( eliminating the A8 shudder issues as that was a general issue, not Corvette issue) was the Z06 overheating easily on track days. But I imagine the LT4 being what it was is due to those limited funds and doing the best with what they had. Though I know for those who don't track( the majority), they loved the LT4 powered Z06.
