Article: An Unfair Advantage?

[John McKechnie]

In my humble opinion it came down to a superior brake set up.
The Camaro had the little original disc/drum combo removed and they specially fitted the proven massive 12 inch vented Corvette 4 pot Delco Moraine disc set up front and back, And by the way you cannot just bolt them on the back, you need the correct rear end. And GM had that all ready to go as they already had this set up on the Corvette.
This gave them a huge advantage,that no one else had.
Spencer Black imported a big block Camaro with this rear set up on and fitted it into the Team Cambridge Camaro improving its performance.
Norm Beechey was able to fit them to the front of his Monaro,- once again GM parts bin.
Just my view, not detracting from Penskes professionalism.
