If I jack my car up like that, I'm happy to say I need to go a good way before I run out of rear suspension travel and the back tire clears the garage floor. I just searched your gallery for the picture but either I missed it or it just isn't there.
That would be the pic posted below, and this thread: Can Your Cobra Do this?
Re-read the thread, look at the pic again, and tell me if you still think the rear suspension is inarticulate or if you just remembered it incorrectly (note the position of the jack).
