Moot Erik, moot.
I think you'd be making quite a leap were you to conclude that the inclusion of the 'X' brace was somehow related to G-forces recorded between two vehicles with different weight distribution, tire/wheel sizes, spring rates, bar sizes, etc.
You are correct, Pobst didn't prefer an 'unsettled' S197 chassis over the ride the ZL1 offered. But his comments weren't geared towards your so-called "effect of the car sliding laterally on the frame."
The Watts reduces migration, yes. Have you any idea how much potential lateral movement there is on a Boss or GT500 (with respect to axle and chassis)? I'm just curious if you know how to calculate it and what the approximate numbers are.
In addition, your mention of Pobst's time with the IRS equipped ZL1 vs the solid axle of the GT500 - are you implying that his times would have improved in the Boss with a Watts as opposed to the panhard bar? Do you think that the solid axle Mustang would no longer be 'jumpy laterally' were Pobst to be driving a version that was Watts equipped?
