To everyone who believes my leaf-spring post was a clueless jab: It partially was. But it was
meant to be. I was encouraging discussion, gentlemen, based on a firm (pun partially intended) personal and technical belief that leaf springs have limited applications in modern car design. (And, for that matter, so do pushrods -- but that's getting off topic.) I view it as a cheap 'out' by Chevy -- which has a tendency to use a lot of them historically -- as applied to the Camaro and Corvette. IMHO, of course -- we're all entitled to them.
I'm not going to get any more defensive on this forum regarding this; it just riles people up unnecessarily to the point of making unfair personal assumptions and attacks, even many days later as this poster demonstrates. Hey, get it out if you have to; I rather enjoy being a punching bag. I've partially made a couple of careers out of it, actually -- that and being more 'realistic' than most because I consider alternate viewpoints by intellectual and situational default.
Cheers, gentlemen.
