Just curious what the trackwidths of the C5 and C6 are, compared to a C3.
Anybody know?

Wider is better. The C6z is as wide as a truck.

You're on the money there! It looks like the C6 is 5-8% wider (trackwidth) than a C3.
I'm just trying to assess all the suspension improvements versus the older cars.
I appreciate the info!

Anyone know the wheel offsets for the above? That would tell you hub to hub distance. That would be good to know as well.

Regarding the C5/C6 wheelbase numbers, is there any performance reason for this, or was it just a matter of trying to package the transaxle?
