And the Z06 beat the Porsche Turbo S and a plethora of other vehicles, coming within one tenth of a second of the Ferrari F12, pulling some of the highest lateral Gs they've ever seen around tracks. That and all sorts of other people license their magnetic suspension from them. Yeah, I think they know something about suspension these days.
Agreed, it's mostly semantics. I don't really care, and suppose if you removed them, it would just be pushrods that became the next target.
