I believe it was Grumpy that said that he'd have rather focused on campaigning the Nova in the Late-1960s, but GM was pushing the Camaro for marketing reasons. His opinion was that the Nova made a much better drag car due to weight distribution.
Look at the overhang on a 1969 Camaro ahead of the front wheels, and compare that to a '69 Nova. The Nova in profile almost looks like an early-60s altered wheelbase car compared to the Camaro.
