the Z06 is on LEAF SPRINGS?! Who the hell still uses those? I thought those were reserved for old pick up trucks and semi trucks only.

^ no kidding.
4.1 to 60, 10 to 100? really? really? If anyone has a Z06 they know that this is poor driving, and the T56 does not grind gears. Otherwise, yes a GT2 will beat a Z06. I hope for 200k it does, and with less drivetrain loss, more hp and torque and the same weight. And shorter gears. Hmm.... |

Amazingly they work believe it or not. Though they aren't very dynamic.

I just figured since everyone talks about coil over this and adjustable shock that. . . and since leaf springs were only something I remember seeing on old pick up trucks. . . that leaf springs were a thing of the past and obsolete. Guess not though

Get over the "past and obsolete" thing and look at the entire package. It works, well.
