I am not so sure it is a step back. I think a lot depends on the transmission choice. The A10 is noticeably better than the A8 in the Corvette. Also, even in manual form, many prefer the M6 to the M7 as far as feel. The ZL1 doesn't overheat and the general consensus is that the alpha chassis handles the LT4 power better than the C7Z does, less snap oversteer at the limit.
Cost is also a factor, the ZL1 is loaded up with all the bells and whistles, rear vision camera, Recaros with suede heated and ventilated, interior lighting, etc. for less than $70k while you are in base LZ trim on the Z for more money. I love them both but having owned them the ZL1 is not a downgrade at all. I actually prefer it more especially as a daily driver.
