And 65coop has totally risen above the call of duty, by offering to take measurements for you.
Both of these gentlemen have, or have offered, to help you, after you insulted their intelligence. And in both cases

Well, seems to be a difference here between the years here.

The Net is full azzholes longing for something to whine about even after thinking that purchascing something imbues them with some special quality. Eh, that's the deal with anonymous identities....some people want to help while others spew out their personal defects onto others. Sad really.
Too bad I can't you a beer.

The original question seemed to be the subframe dimensions, to my understanding. This would be the rear frame clip in racing/rodding vernacular. I don't know if you plan to use the rear frame section or fabricate a suitable one and then locate the components. These locating points and such will obviously be the most critical measurements if you're doing that. The approximate clip size, wheel track and space needed for the complete assembly to be fitted and operate properly are also important of course for a given application. Why don't you restate your question in better detail and let us know precisely what you're trying to ascertain as well as your end goals. The two widths available for this system and the ingenuity required to attempt any such project should allow this system to be installed in most cars of an at least somewhat conventional design. I'm not choosing sides here but if it were me I'd apologize for any misunderstanding, whether anyone else does or not, and start from scratch.

Scrouge,
You might also try under the General corvette Autocrossing section.
There are a number of guys there that would be more intimate with the suspension aspects of the car.
Perhaps they can help with some of the measurements.

This IS a tech forum populated by more than just one guy and this is why I posted here. Sometimes it takes days to get a response but one can always hope to get one faster.
It seems that no one here really has to worry about the dimensions so its not something to know. This has been mentioned by others so its not an insult by me. I guess I will have to go to Hot Rodders forums to get the dimensions but it was logical to go to a Corvette board and ask here first.
This is why a lot of forum members don't post or reply anymore , but just sit back and laugh I wish you luck, I see some have given a positive response.

It may have been a stupid question (to some), but like Philben says on Millionaire, "its only easy when you know the answers." If you don;t know something....you don't know. I'm not clairvoiyant so I have to go to where people in the know are.

This thread certainly seems to have turned into a train wreck. PMs headed to some participants.
