I know you hate the ERA site, but they have some beautiful graphics on there that you, and others, might actually like.

"A solid rear axle can be a severe handicap in a short wheelbase, high performance car like the Cobra. Torque steer under high acceleration can create a rather unstable situation. There are some live axles that compensate for the driving torque, but everything is a compromise: Normal bump characteristics will suffer then." http://www.erareplicas.com/427/rsusp.htm
