    It would appear as though they are using a torque tube. Or is it just a wrap of some sort around the drive shaft? The car obviously has a full frame. Neat video!

        Steven -

        Corvette has had that torque tube since 1997; the backbone that supports the powertrain and suspension is part of the chassis, and the other elements we used to call a "frame" are integrated into the unitized body structure.

          John,

          Thanks for the information. I was not aware. I guess I don't go too much beyond 1967. It makes sense from a structural standpoint for the power train. It definitely looks stout.

                I can hear it now, "I don't care what the Judging Manual says, the video shows they did it this way!!"
