Not taken that way at all. I think that these are conversations worth having.
In 2010 I got one of the first Body-In-White Camaros. At that time I tried to work with Chevrolet to put a torque arm in it. Knowing that whatever the NHRA approved would be the standard going ahead, I didn't want to rock the boat by going directly to them myself. It was my thought that the torque arm would be the least controversial option. Obviously, that did not go my way.
That said, the four link is nowhere near as forgiving as a torque arm set-up.
The precedent had already been set for the Corvettes to run a solid rear. So, the NHRA had to allow something. I really don't see the four link as any great advantage.
