T-bars vs Stored energy

The leaf sprung Corvettes (C3 I think)were DESIGNED to squat in the rear for weight transfer. You might want to watch this. The tires haven't a thing to do with it. It's the rotational force of pinion trying to climb the ring gear that actually pull the rear axle UP so the body goes DOWN. It is very evident in the video. I have driven countless numbers of these cars and when hit hard off the line, they feel like the rear bumper touches the ground.
