Ive watched this video about 3 times. Lemme find it on you Tube. I sware they say it has leaf springs



"let me bring back a point from the video , leaf spring?!"

" well basic but functional, its really works "

" are you suggesting this car could go aound the track as fast as say a russian TRV?"

Yes that show is called Top Gear and they are total morons, they bash just about everything that is an American car. FWIW Vettes have had IRS since the 60's
