C6 Corvette IFS Components
The first step in obtaining vastly improved handling was to employ the forged aluminum control arms and spindles from 1997-2008 Corvettes. In order to take advantage of the C6 Corvette's I.F.S. (which has exceptional geometry in stock form), several revisions were required. C5's hub-to-hub track width was narrowed, to fit under the narrower 1953-62 Corvette body.

Camber, Caster, Roll Center and Scrub Radius
The Swing Arm Arc has been shortened to better maintain camber angle while cornering. The static roll center height was reduced to minimize side scrub and jacking force. As a result, straight line stability and ride quality have been enhanced. Static caster has been reduced to +6 to promote a crisper steering 'feel' and to counteract the rise/fall effect of increased scrub radius (when compared to stock C5 geometry). This also provides improved roll center migration.

A Lower "Center of Gravity"
By providing through-frame passageways for the exhaust system, the AME GT Sport chassis for C1 Corvettes allows for a lower stance, while maintaining the necessary ground clearance. This enables the vehicle to have a lower Center of Gravity (CG).

Triangulated 4-Bar Rear Suspension
A major difference between the Morrison GT Sport chassis for the 1953-62 Corvette and C5 'Vette is the use of a special Triangulated 4-bar rear suspension instead of an I.R.S. There are several reasons for this - not the least of which is the track width of the C5 unit. The triangulated 4-bar setup performs well in terms of acceleration control and provides excellent lateral stability.

Breaking "The 1-G Barrier"!
The Morrison Engineering Department has done in-depth calculations and determined that with the proper combination of power, tires and brakes, a Morrison GT Sport chassis-equipped 53-62 Corvette should be able to exceed 1-G force on the skid pad, in acceleration, and braking.
