Hopefully, this will be addressed in the newly redesigned 05/future cars.

A live axle rear helps acceleration? I thought live axle was mostly favored for the launch...



And to add to Self's comment about the z06 having more displacement, the z06 runs a 10.5:1 compression ratio while the 03 Cobra only has an 8.5:1 compression ratio.
