Just because someone says "it's not going to be a problem" doesn't mean it's not going to be a problem. Sorry, but that's life. It was supposedly guaranteed not to be a problem on the ZR1 too, but..... see below.

I believe the technical term is "asymmetric half shafts." But yes, basically one, is bigger and heavier than the other. Which eleiminates the wheel hop. |
Reduces.

Lotta spuculation in here. The unequal half shafts don't eliminate wheel hop, they reduce it.
I was at Englishtown yesterday watching a ZR1 hop through the 60' and on the 1-2. The new -V will hop too. It may be reduced, but don't think that staggered diameter axles is the magic wand that eliminates the hop. It doesnt. Hop is part of the nature of an IRS. You folks should probably stop holding the ZR1 up as an example because, well, it hops.
