It was intended for newer body style's with older motor combinations. They got rid of the 1980 and older rule years ago. Why do we even have GT classes?
The difference between SS and GT is a traditional SS car is restricted to run one of the original accepted engine combinations for that make and model. You can run an older car in GT now with a newer engine combo or a newer car with an older engine combo. If you eliminated GT then the newer combos would have to run only the engines that are in the guide for that year and model.

I sent a message to NHRA about this. Will let everyone know when I get something.

Maybe you have misinterpreted what I am trying to say. I'm saying combine GT into superstock. Just get rid of the GT classes and indexes altogether. But I can still run my "GT" car, it will just have a SS class designation and be combined in with traditional SS cars. I don't see any problem with my 98 Camaro and 67 327 running the same class as a 98 Camaro with an LT1 if the horse power ratings are close
