To be able to say that X subframe coupled with X rear suspension setup running X tires achieved 20 billion lateral G's on a skidpad with evidence would be pretty cool info to have on hand.
I have driven and rode in three of the cars mentioned above, one on a road course with Mark Stielow driving. The Mule and Camaro X have the Quadralink style rear suspension. Camaro X is bar none the most comfortable driving 69 Camaro I've ever been in, extremely well sorted out. The Mule pulled over one G lateral with Mark and I in the car at Thunder Hill according to Marks test equipment; this was on street tires and two occupants.

The Red Witch is very close in ride quality and handling to the Mule and has leafs. Not as adjustable and probably not as good at 10/10's, but Mark, DSE, and many others have gone very fast with leafs.

All that said, I think you'll be very happy with the Quadralink.
