Its not always about ultimate grip but feel and how the car responds at the edge.
The Z's VCS is extremely abrupt with no settings. Any arguments? Didn't think so
But if a car is tossable, and easy to drive at the limits to push the slip angles in an easily controlled way, it can be a lot more fun to some. Ref: Z06 vs base Vette with MR suspension driven at 80-90%.
As to the hype...
In a world full of boring sedans, sports cutes, and trucks ^D^D^D^D^D SUVs, two companies defy the business odds by releasing a 25K RWD sports coupe that has limited practicality.
When was the last time this happened? 350Z and RX-8 intros come to mind.
Its been a while.
