Not every 2008 and newer car falls into the factory built racecar category. The new F/GT rules apply to the Camaro COPO, Ford Cobra Jet, and the Dodge Drag Pak and/or their engine.

As an example, a 2010 Camaro SS was sold new as a street car that can be licensed. Its shipping weight is 3780 with an automatic. The engine is a LS style with 376 cubic inches rated at 400 horsepower. If used for GT, this body or engine would fall into regular SS/GT classes.

A newer Camaro COPO body or engine was not sold as a vehicle that could be licensed for the street. Both the COPO body or engine would put a car into the F/GT classes.

The same applies to the Ford Cobra Jet and Dodge Drag Pak body or engine. A 2010 352CJ engine puts it into F/GT.

The Camaro COPO, Ford Cobra Jet, and Dodge Drag Pak are listed as so in the NHRA classguide. Some other models of 2008 and newer cars that are not factory racecars are also listed in the classguide.
