Not sure what you're asking about leaf springs, but the C6 has'em. The review itself is the laughing stock of the C6 General Discussion forum.

I think what you think Joer350. That little guy is probably, or should be, really embarassed over that performance. What a panty wasted ******! Those guys could use some male gonads.

Not just the C6 General Discussion forum. It's a joke on my 350Z forum too. It's funny to me that the guy ran such a sloppy lap and still got a great time. I bet they thought their review would turn people off to the C6. It just made me want it more. I'm not stupid, I know what I saw, or what they wanted me to see. I use to love that show, now I think it's a joke.

leaf springs, mono springs what ever you call them they work, especially compared to the struts that are they use on alot of european and japanese cars. the little brit got on my nerves complaning about the clutch and shifter effort, if thats too hard for him maybe he needs to get a little more exercise. This is probably the reason he had so much trouble getting traction off the line, sure the c6 is a 13 second car if you spin the tires through first and second gear. some one should tell these guys to roll on the throttle. and who listens to loud music while driving through a road course?

ps. note it beat the porsche gt3
