Re: Weight and tranny
The leaf spring design, as used in the Corvette, is actually superior to coilovers in some ways.
If you don't think so, then ask Reeves Callaway*, or ask Pratt & Miller why they didn't use coilovers on their C6RS. And I'm not just saying that. I'm serious. Call them and ask.
After all, we're not talking about the stacked leaf spring design found on a truck.
*"We do not put the full spring loads of the suspension through the shock towers. First they were not designed to carry those loads, and second, we used to do that with our earlier versions of the Coil Over theory of how to make a Corvette handle well. Long term, it was not a success."
