Jim, I think you forgot to mention that the Corvette can be swapped out to a GENERAL MOTORS solid rear axle, but not a Ford, Mopar, Toyota, or any other manufacturers solid rear end. That was done more for safety than anything else, as the half shafts of the IRS were key to help keep the wheels positioned properly, as the older Corvette IRS system did not have upper control arms. So, if the axle or an axle U Joint was to break, the wheel was free to flop around, and likely cause a crash.
