The C4 uses a 4 trailing arm style suspension. The Motion car looks to use a double a arm set up.

I thought the rear was a Viper Dana 44.

Charlie is mostly correct, It is a C5 Corvette arms and a Viper differential. A funny thing is I had a call from someone claiming to want to build the ultimate Pro Tour car, and we discussed a chassis and Viper / C5 set up with a Quafe diff. Hum! I guess I am not the only one to dream that up. That guy did just vanish when it was time to count down. About 6 months ago! That's OK, I did not reveal everything.

Function, function, function.

Id take the Mule, Thrasher, or Witch over the Motion car any day of the week.

All three look more than bad-ass and back it up with REAL performance, and I wouldn't be terrified of eating an In-n-Out and sucking down a strawberry milkshake in one of them on my way to the track.

hmm... The Arms didn't look like a C5 to me but they could be. I can't see enough from the pics to tell. Vipers have double a arms too. The shock looks to be off a Viper but it could be something custom to remove the leaf spring from the C5. Vipers and ZF6 C4s both ran a Dana 44 hung on a batwing style mount. The motion webstie did say a D44 was used. Thanks for the info.

No article but one of the featured cars on this site looks to a have a C5 rear and Ford 8.8" IRS chunk but it could be an 04 Corbra rear. That would be an interesting/fairly economical setup. https://lateral-g.net/members/sinjem/Photo0372.jpg
