While  similar, the Corvair and Corvette have remarkably different weight 
bias.   The rear suspensions specifications are quite different varying in 
such things  as instant roll center height, roll axis, and working travel with 
the Corvair  having sufficiently longer travel; enough that it would be 
expected to well  outperform the Corvette on uneven surfaces.

One reason they might be different is that they were designed and patented  
by two different people; The 'Vette rearend was patented by Zora 
Arkus-Duntov  whereas the 'Vair unit was patented by Thomas P Cote and Edward L Nash 
(patent  3327803.)
