"VE suspension"?
And this is from
a CTS-V review...

A smooth, powerful motor and solid, quick-shifting transmissions certainly get the bulk of the credit for the impressive performance. But the asymmetrical half-shafts (one is larger in diameter) help quell the rear suspension's tendency toward hop during a fast launch. In fact, it is as hard to generate axle hop on this version of the CTS-V as it was easy to generate it on the previous generation.

When I said "fixed" (notice the quotes in the original as well) I wasn't saying that it is 100% eliminated as noone has been able to do that but it is
greatly reduced. Reviewers complained about the hop in the GXP but the Camaro has the same improvements that are in place in the CTS-V and ZR1 to achieve much smoother launches.
And here's a video showing a ZR1 launch (don't see any hop)
