The C7 didn't feel like the other cars because it runs a significantly larger front tires than the others, which dulls steering feel. Jason Cammisa had a good article on this recently as he noticed that the GT350 is very hard to keep in a slide because they sacrificed steering power for feel, making it tough to turn the 285s up front quickly.

exactly.
people think that more tire is always better. in reality its often not the case. Cars like the viper and other front engine sports cars need to run a huge tire up front for grip/lap times... at the expense of steering feel and balance on the limit.
my 458 runs a 235 tire up front and a 295 in back. There is almost zero understeer. and the front end darts in way faster than my gtr did with 285s up front. You don't need much tire up front when there is no weight
