the live rear axle is one of the reasons for the modification in chassis; it is cheaper to build, and therefor sell. dont forget, even the 2002 T/A WS6 had a live rear axle (if my memory serves me) all that really means is at the limit, the vehicle isnt quite as predictable due to axle hop. if im wrong about the ws6, sorry ill ask my mate about it later today.

The ws6 does have a live rear axle in it. (considering my iroc has an 02 SS rear in it. same car). The ws6 had sla though. Also as I said. While a rear axle and mcpherson strut isnt a guarentee that it will be beat by a multilink/independent, overall potential of the multilink is higher. Furthermore, similar quality in design means the multilink will be better. (note i said similar quality. this doesnt mean a fwd car will beat a camaro or mustang)
The corvette has a superior setup. Has for quite some time.
The 03 mustang cobra had a multilink. The issue was it was done poorly. To the point where road racers swapped back the live rear axle.
