Chevrolet Corvettes And Independent Rear Suspension Chassis
|
The layout of the C5 and C6 Corvettes is unique and not simply because of the independent rear suspension. The rear-mounted transmission and supporting components-including the torque tube that surrounds the driveshaft-create their own dynamics on the drivetrain. The chassis was designed for driving performance that includes corners, not 8-second e.t.'s, so making it compliant and consistent on the dragstrip requires careful suspension tuning and a host of specialized drivetrain parts.
