    Was it only the ZR-1 which had independent suspension back in the 80's then?

      This says it has four wheel independent suspension so no leaf springs.

        Honestly I don't know. I am just going by the wiki article which details the evolvement of the Corvette leaf springs. I do remember the ZR-1 was supposed to be a leap forward in Corvette suspension though. I was actually taken aback that the Corvettes still had leaf springs myself.

          This says it has four wheel independent suspension so no leaf springs.
          From the wiki article:

          C5 (1997–2004), C6 (2005–):
          Front: Independent unequal-length double wishbones with transverse fiberglass mono-leaf spring mounted to allow for anti-roll effect. Rear: Independent unequal length double wishbones with transverse fiberglass mono-leaf spring mounted to allow for anti-roll effect.

          In the C2 and subsequent generations, a leaf spring is mounted transversely in the chassis and used in conjunction with several independent suspension designs. Common to these post-C1 Corvettes, the leaf acts only as a spring, and not a suspension arm or a link. Because it is not required to stabilize the wheels, the leaf functions in much the same manner as a coil spring. This configuration obviates the drawbacks and imprecision associated with leaf springs in a traditional Hotchkiss suspension layout
          Maybe it depends on what the definition of "is" is?

            Bet that your color scheme is way more dangerous and causing serious brain damage to those 3-series drivers

            Yeah, 115 isn't that much if you want quick acceleration, but top speed isn't a problem - once gone 170 km/h and still had 2.000 rpm's left. Though, it was 3 o'clock in the night on a motorway crossing funen, som I didn't felt comfortable checking that unused resources.
