Quote: In fact, I can't recall seeing a torsion bar suspension on ANY race car that takes corners in the last 25 years. If it is so f-ing good, you would think someone would use it...
I was happy to lurk until this.
Against ~80 cars, many of them serious, factory Vipers, Porsches, Check Mallet's Vette (pro driven), Lambos, Ferraris, and on and on, we had the second-fastest time at the Glen, beaten only by a Mosler Raptor (2,000 lb Vette-powered carbon fiber tub).
All OEM geometry, even stock UCAs. Leafs. No rear sway bar. Only 15" wheels. And, yes, torsion bars.

Imagine how embarrassed all this high end engineering and pro drivers only to be behind the time of a stock torsion bar equipped Valiant....
