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.
I think he either thought this thread was about Vette or he has no clue what he is talking about.
