This shit makes me sad. I get the Z06 being an reliable shit, I wasn't surprised because the performance bargain seemed too good to be true.
But the regular one being a shit is a huge disappointment to me. I wanted to like the new Vette, I really did, I felt like it was my duty as an Amurrican.

The ford marketing department is going all out lately.

If it works, why change it?
Porsche sticked with their RR meme for so long, and they improved it with every iteration. GM can't do this?

Also the mk2 escort had leaf springs even as a racecar, and it danced around the competition.

>>16389266
Using an iron leaf spring is just plain stupid nowadays. It was a decent compromise back then though.

Truly modern leaf spring design removes the shock towers and sway bars (see >>16390135), making for a very compact package. Not only GM uses it, but Volvo too in the new XC/S/V90.

>>16389390
Actually, coils were around before leaf springs, making them the more dated design. Leaf springs date back to 1804, while coils date back to 1763.

>>16389335
>which has the traditional amount of control arms?
Because using your springs as control arms is hard, since you get all kinds of wierd camber curves. It's better to let the spring do spring (and swaybar) duty in this case, and have a precisely controlled camber curve using a set of control arms on each side.
