      Art Morrison has a new one coming out.. not sure of price but it uses C5 components.. just another for the list.

      I saw the TCI Camaro (at the track) doing some clandestine testing. It did pretty darn good. Near 1g average in the skidpad on R-compound tires.

      All are pretty good bets for a street car.

      I think we need to cry for an official "Comparo" and include a "Gulstrand-Modded", Boxed-A-arm stock unit to really see if all of the thousands of dollars are really well spent.

      My money is on the stock one (bang vs. dollars spent) but getting the big guys to allow the modified stock unit in the comparo might be impossible.

      Don't get me wrong they are all well done and I'm sure will out-perform the modified stock unit, but I just can't justify the investment for the return.

      What are your intentions for performance? The Martz is OK, but Gary is a PIA to deal with. He really doesn't have good people skills, but the product they put out is decent for the price.

      With the Wide Track on my 69 I can run 275s with a 17x9" wheel up front, but my turning radius is somewhat limited. They'll fit in there with the stock inner wheel wells, but you really need to get the correct offset for your wheels.

      With the Martz you may need to add additional support structure to stiffen it a little. You'll also need to add your own turn stops and bump stops.

      They design their own spindles and you'll need to send them your brakes and rotors and tell them what ride height you want.

      Get the NASCAR style sway bar they sell also, it's a good additon.

      Overall, it's a decent starting place for the price, but you'll have to mod it a bit on your own. There are better and there are more expensive so remember you get what you pay for. Just my 2 cents.
