 Your 79 Camaro can be made to handle better, Chnage the front springs from the stock 250lb ones to a set of 800 lb ones, change the stock 5/8ths sway bar for a new addco 1 7/8th inch, place their 3/4 inch rear sway bar, swap over to a set up 400lb 5 leaf springs in the rear with the addition of a panhard bar to help keep the rear end centered under hard cornering. Of course you'll need frame connectors and a decent bolt in four point roll cage to stiffen the rest of the chassis, but doing what I suggested above is what the first basic steps to getting a 70-early 80's Camaro to handle the corners. After setting up the chassis you'll want to upgrade the brakes to a nice set of Wilwoods, and a decent 17" VR rated wheel/tire combination. I prefer the BFG KD's for mixed street and track use...........
 
 
 HHHHHmmmm, sounds like maybe I've done this before . .
