I really don't get the hate on these... especially the later ones with the more powerful Corvette-derived engine... I know the GMT360 chassis was not one of the better platforms around, but it wasn't THAT bad, was it?

In terms of pure styling, this was light-years ahead of the horrendously ugly retro-Thunderbird (which the automotive press seemed to absolutely fawn over at first... another thing that I don't understand)

I am the exact opposite. I love the Thunderbird and dislike this.

With regards to your initial question. These weren't bad, mechanically, but they were kind of slow off the line. The weight was the biggest culprit. The main reason these are so bashed is because from a practical standpoint, they're useless. They have a carpet bed, which when the roof is off, becomes a storage space for the folding roof, this making it unable to haul/carry anything. They're only functional as a "truck" with the roof up.

I like these, and I honestly like the retro-'Birds as well (apart from the shitty 3.9 V8 they saddled them with). I seriously considered buying one of the latter a couple of years ago.
