So, i was thinking about the similarities between the E30 BMW and GTO suspension... e30 bmw has a remotely similar suspension setup to our cars - semi trailing arm. differential is bolted to the subframe. seems they have no toe link, however.

Then, I thought, somebody somewhere has drag raced an E30. So I did some google-fu.
take a look at this E30 and it's setup, and tell me what you think.

looks like he did away with the rear subframe entirely. differential bolts to some kind of tubular member that is attached to the framerails, looks like?
control arms are these massive tubular constructs that attach FAR forward, perhaps where 4 link SRA arms would attach. This probably allows for some pretty massive weight transfer, excellent toe/camber control and i doubt he has any wheelhop issues.
plz discuss.
