How would you define success?

 

599 front..camaro back...

 

Not using leaf springs would be a start...

 

Pulling over 1g on the skid pad and hanging with the best of them on leaf springs has worked good for them so far

 

Key word there being "hanging"

They could do much better. If they took the suspension from the CTS-V in it, it would be a completely different beast. And it would be much better.

 

and this.....lets see some interesting styling. I'm sure its not going to come out looking like this, but I've seen maybe 2 or 3 Corvettes that I think look good and they have all been Z06's with widebody kits...can we get some styling? And interior?

Look it can pull 1G on a skid pad, thats great, but it has 640 horsepower. The powertrain is about the one thing I agree with in that car (although the fact that the 7.0L isn't the boosted motor in the ZR1 bothers me). It's everything else they need to change.

 

StigSC, is so right they need to do some drastic changes to the Vette, make it diffrent from the other years. Even though I'm not a mustang fan, they at least took a diffrent direction and it helped, same with the Camero and Even the Viper.

And someone mention hangs with the best of them. i'm not sure about that the Porsche GT3, R8 and GTR all wiped the floor with the ZR1.

 

I suppose that they should quit using pushrods as well.

 

I think that's a little different, don't you?

 

It's not different at all, your only complaint you can have about the leaf spring is that it's dated technology. From a engineering standpoint it is still just a mechanical device used to store energy. And it is very easy to match the efficiency of a coil spring to a leaf spring once you have been building cars for 80 years or so.

That's the problem with you kids these days, if it ain't broke, there is no reason to fix it.
