It makes sense and it was only a matter of time till Detroit Speed tapped into the Corvette market.

Intriguing rear suspension layout. I'm finding it difficult to visualise the toe curve and other geometry through it's travel from the pictures shown, looks like the toe curve is restrained to some extent by the links in line with the half shaft as they look to be slightly staggered front to rear (edit: Not so sure after looking again?). I'm curious why they maintained a faux trailing arm rather than going to diagonal links or wishbones, but would guess packaging had a lot to do with it. I'd love to see a 3d model going through it's suspension travel.

Actually, the undercar pic is dramatically different to the body off chassis pics. The arms parallel to the halfshaft have been relocated front to rear, presumably to control toe? Either that or the link behind the coilover to control toe is not visible in the chassis pics.
