Default Whats the best G's recorded on a skid pad with a Gbody?

Read an article awhile back about a susepension set up on a 69 Camaro , it was a 6 cylinder suspension car with a v8, and it did terrible on a skid pad.

With what I consider to be bolt on upgrades to the suspension, it did .97 g's from .80 g's. up & low arms springs ft and rear, and frnt sway bar , a subframe connector, 17" tires and no rear sway bar.

Now a older article I read on a G-body Monte, with b-body spindles a correct offset upper arms a big ft sway bar, and rear bar, and springs, managed a best of .89 g's?

Can or will a G-body do better?

Seen most of the arms out there are geared to accomodate various spindle heights or tall ball joints.

The kit in the Camaro had the factory spindle with bigger brakes.(from what I read)

Im not comparing companies or kits just wanted to know what all it took to get a Gbody up there?

Thanks
