Specs on subframes?

[QUOTE= It cracks me up, in fact, that you would make such a statement, as if the corvette engineers are complete numbskulls that only design suspensions in between debates about whether the world is round and staring in awe at the mysterious substance the wise man on the hill calls "fire".[/QUOTE]
It still cracks me up that the American public are still being ripped of with old technology that is 50 years old (30 if we're talking composite spring) whilst the rest of the world has moved on along time ago. Now I'm not sugesting the Corvette is not a world class product. Just it could be kicking averbody elses butt if the engineers we're alowed to design something better.

Have you ever watched a corvette running down the freeway? the rear tires are chopping and skipping at every bump. Did you ever see a leafspring on a modern LOTUS, Ferarri, Porsche, Lamborgini or Masarati? The only excuse for using a leaf spring is COST. And no, it appears you don't know anything about suspension.
