As a "blow in" who knows none of you blokes (and not much else as my mates regularly tell me) Id be interested in what vintage the main suspects in this discussion are. I reckon that might explain some differing opinions.

We aim to please!
Tony, what do you and Ben say about the HT GTS350 "improvement" wheels at release? I assume Ben's HT has the HK suspension geometry too?

Only if hey? 1969 L88 Muncie 3.73 12-bolt positraction Camaro, drool.
