As an example, let me hold up the creator and founder of the whole pro-touring movement (per the magazines), Mark Stielow. What number is he on now for Camaro builds, 75? He fought the poor suspension design of the Camaro for years with custom one off parts and such. Since these cars are the absolute pinnacle of the whole movement, what's a guy to think other than "if Mark has to throw out the entire front suspension, I guess I do to". Doesn't matter if it is a Ford or a Mopar, Mark has coil overs on his Camaro so they must be better.

Mark Stielow Built 12 Camaros So You Don’t Have To

"Mark was a member of his college Formula SAE team at Missouri University of Science and Technology. His knowledge of suspensions taught him enough to know that the first-generation Camaro's factory suspension geometry is "all jacked up." His first Camaro used tall spindles and fabricated upper control arms, and his aforementioned bumperless 1967 used a mix of off-the-shelf and custom parts with pie-cut control arms and Corvette spindles in an attempt to solve the first-generation Camaro's inherently poor suspension geometry. Mark admits the car still had bumpsteer. When he built his next Camaro with exotic billet chromoly spindles, there were still compromises. Since then, the market for products that improve handling on 1960s and 1970s muscle has boomed and there are a number of engineered solutions that greatly improve the factory geometry. Take advantage of it."

On a side note, I love that the first year (I think) the Green Brick ran in the One Lap, it was against a Stielow Camaro. As I recall, it was a tight race and the victory by the Valiant might have been influenced by a fuel fire on the Camaro. Really wasn't much to the Valiant, but the Camaro wasn't able to run away from it either.

Interesting, this article about the Camaro Mark built for the One Lap even takes some pokes at Mopar Action.

The Story of “Tri-Tip,” the 1969 Camaro That Helped Launch Pro Touring

I think what they miss is the level of equipment that the two cars had. The Camaro was running a high zoot smallblock with EFI, 6 speed manual, 17" wheels and ZR1 brakes. The Valiant had a crate 360, 4 speed (OD?), 15" wheels, 11.75" brake upgrade and a stock TB suspension with some tweaks. Then they added more HP to the Camaro for the following year and the last year even brought an IMSA champ to drive the car.
