I get that and did know that, i was just referring to the debate as to why the Pontiac was able to run it compared to the Camaro, which was an actual car. Since the Pontiac was a "paper car" it was allowed to run the LT1. The Camaro is not a "paper car" so why is it allowed to run an engine that was not offered with that year and model???
