Hey, if viffer thinks the Camaro is on leaf springs then why not let him think so? Then wonder why it handles so much better than other cars with far "superior" suspension
As far as I know, Camaro's haven't had a leaf spring since what? The 80s? Then the 3rd and 4th gen used a solid rear axle, trailing arms, subframe bracers, etc. Then the 5th gen uses a modern independent rear suspension setup and regular a arms, coils, etc for the front.
The Vette on the other hand still uses a "leaf spring" but not like what you think in a truck or what a 2nd gen Camaro has per say. But a single (I believe) transverse leaf spring or monoleaf spring (something like that) that is used across the rear suspension from one side to the other. Same for the front.
