[QUOTE="Formula51, post: 9630546, member: 19833"] Not sure the weight of the Corvettes rear suspension versus a live axle, but it is a bit of a design anomaly that has evolved over the years. It is rather unique and I "assume" relatively expensive or we would see it used more often. The IRS in Zeta (which was designed for it from the ground up) is heavier than the 03/04 Cobra IRS. Part of this is may be size, robustness, etc., but I'm just not seeing these "lightweight" IRS in Mustang/Camaro sized V8 cars. As for the 350/370Z, those suspensions do not have to handle 390+ ft.lbs. of torque! Not to mention those "small" 2-seaters still weight north of 3,400lbs. with their V6. I don't consider them light at all. Damn, all this talk about weight, maybe its finally time to pony up the dough for that new hood and drop 30#'s upfront.....got to finish my Acura RSX Type-S seat install first...mmmm....manual controls and perforated leather.
