Clearly a lot to unpack on this issue, but this example and a few others are great examples of how some combos just got lucky depending on how you view it.

I would expect anyone running a Pontiac GTO with a LS would appreciate the weight loss that the Camaro got somehow.

I think now that the shock and awe has hit over this topic there will have to be some process that works and makes sense, even if it is a shipping weight with a plus or minus variance of some sort.

Clearly ,there were decades of deals made here rather than a process that could be understood by all.

Hopefully some good comes out of this transparency. So many say and I agree that one of the key responsibilities of a sanctioning body is to apply rules in a clear and consistent manner.

At least this is an attempt to apply process.
