Radial tuned suspension was introduced on GM cars 10 years before it was released here. Holden engineers believed that to be safe a car must under-steer. Boy they sure got that one right.

In the US GM started to use RTS on some cars (F body and A body) from 1973, Australia got it with the LX Torana in 1976, HZ Holden in 1977, and TD Gemini in 1978. I've never heard of it on anything GM manufactured before 1973.
