We've done some rigorous slalom, skid pad, auto-cross and road course testing, and found that the rear sway bar is definitely key on 2nd Gen F-bodies. With a stock bar the cars push a little, with no bar (particularly with stock sheetmetal and an iron motor) understeer would be substantial. A high-performance tubular rear bar improves overall handling and driver control on a tight course.
Here are a few videos of Mary Pozzi, who campaigns one of the fastest 2nd Gen auto cross Camaros in the county. She's running our TVS including the
rear bar.

In fact, we just finished track testing a new system for the late 2nd gen Camaros Firebirds last week and the performance was incredible. We'll have video of that test soon, here's a shot in the meantime:
