Guys, good discussion as usual with the "heat" that many of us are known for. My only comments are these:
1. I know you are going to get really sore about this Malter, but the Vette has an advanced multi link aluminum rear suspension. As I have said before, the spring element is pretty much independent of the arm configuration and geometry. You can have single arm with leaf, single arm with gas/spring shock or multi-link with both as well.
2. I agree that the small swept area of the Vettes rear brakes looks a but funny. But it was also intentional. A small swept area (per ton) typically does translate to ppor brake performance but you have to think about the entire system, brake heating/cooling, balance, initial bite, fade, pedal effort etc. and despite how they look the brakes on the car are pretty darn good.
Bruce: What the heck was the comment about chemistry and physics and how that relates to body panel gaps. I totally missed the point.
