Coil Over vs Torsion Bar

It seems to me that everyone considers coil over front suspension an upgrade to the torsion bar setup. ...why?
Is it really superior?
I thought torsion bar suspension was supposed to be one of the big benifits over Ford and Chevy?

Let's discuss

I changed my car to coil overs for 1 reason. I was loosing 100 hp with my 440 1 3/4 headers. I wanted 2 inch TTI. Hemi Denny made his 1st set for me. His work is excellent.
