PM me please for a price on the Pfadt Strut tower you folks sell, mine is 2010 1SS/RS L99 if that makes any difference?

If you don't have the holes it's a little harder to make the OEM bar work because the strut tower has been redesigned a little bit and the OEM bar will no longer fit the profile of the strut tower without spacers between the strut tower and the bottom edge of the brace.
The Verts get the bars because they need them, the ZL1 gets them because it's the top of the line model and therefore should get them. All of the Camaro chassis will see a benefit from them, but they're not a night and day type modification. It's less about the torque output from the engine and more about what happens to the chassis during hard cornering or coming in and out of driveways. The chassis will twist a bit, if you're cornering that's not good because your alignment changes slightly.
The 5th gen Camaro isn't a limp noodle compared to some other chassis on the road out there, but there is a bit of a performance gain to be had with a Strut tower bar. You can see exactly how much deflection there is here in this video we took during our Strut Tower development.
