Also, I don't know why you commented on C2 and C3 Vette suspension since you said your fantasy 240 would whip a C8. Still makes me laugh by the way. For what it's worth, a stock C3 has better handling numbers than a 240z. You can hate on the Corvette all you want. But you can't just make up shit. Everything you've said on the subject has been incorrect so you might as well just stop. This isn't an argument you are going to win.

I don't doubt that at all... the 240z didn't handle as well as the 1982 280zx Turbo I referenced against the 1982 Corvette. Again, you can't say I am wrong when you are comparing the wrong things. I don't hate the Corvette, I just know they were not all they were cracked up to be. I have owned cars that were faster than their same year counterpart Corvette... and my interiors weren't shitty plastic materials that made noise all day when you drove them. From 1968 to 2004 for ME personally, I am not impressed in the least with Corvettes. If you want to have fun in a GM vehicle smartly, then this is what I would do. I would find and buy a 2002 Pontiac Firebird ***** Am WS6 and force feed it some extra air and fuel. Stock they did 0 - 60mph in under 5 seconds so give it 200 more horsepower. Who needs a Vette?

Hell I just looked at the pic you posted of said mono leaf and that's not even a ******* mono leaf dummy.

Yes, it is a mono leaf as in a single leaf spring. It says "Leaf Spring". Each individual piece of metal makes up the leaf spring pack. The leaf spring pack is called a LEAF SPRING. If there were two of them then it would be leaf springS. Chevrolet even said it is equipped with a MONO LEAF INDEPENDENT REAR SUSPENSION. ******* jesus!!

Aren't you into GM cars? Shouldn't you know this?

Hell here is another site...

"
Suspension
front: Independent; upper and lower A-arms, coil springs, tubular hydraulic shock absorbers, antiroll bar
rear: Independent, lateral leaf spring, struts, U-joint halfshafts, trailing arms, tubular hydraulic shock absorbers"

Why does it feel like I'm arguing with Papermaker all over again?

Unlike that person... I am right and YOU are wrong. Apparently it stings.

Mono leaf spring is one single leaf like in the newer vettes bro. Damn I swear you're ******* clueless. I'll never understand why some people insist on arguing about things they know nothing about.

You're an idiot who doesn't know what he's talking about.

This is a mono leaf spring independent rear suspension you ******* moron. As I stated earlier they even make retrofit kits to put mono leafs in older vettes. Why would they make kits if they already have them. You have done nothing but make yourself look absolutely stupid about this whole Corvette thing. And EVERYBODY is laughing at you.

Mono leaf spring is one single leaf like in the newer vettes bro. Damn I swear.

When you take multiple single leaf springs and pack them together into ONE unit you are using multiples to make a single. It is a single ******* leaf spring. You can use a literal single composite leaf spring on those cars from the aftermarket. They do exist. I never said they didn't. But, the 1982 Corvette C3 came with and I will quote General Motors again, who you apparently think is wrong as well, a mono lateral leaf SPRING. How can you call ME and idiot when you don't understand what I am saying? GM calls it mono. Aftermarket sites call it mono... but you seem to want to say everyone else, including the manufacturer of the vehicle... is wrong. I am confused as to why.

So far you have called me an idiot and a ******* moron. Why... because I quoted you facts? Not cool man.

Springs for a 1968 Camaro... let me guess... it has an 8 leaf spring rear suspension.

Damn... the leaf spring is something GM stuck with on the Vette... Here is a C7. Does the C8 also have a leaf spring?
