Rant over.

Let's look at the limited production early factory racecars and where they actually ran.

63 Z11 Impalas ran FX, 63-64 max wedge Mopars ran S/S, 64 Thunderbolts ran S/S, 65 race hemi Plymouths and Dodges ran S/S, 68 hemi Darts and Barracudas ran S/S, 69 AMX with crossrams ran S/S. None of these limited production factory racecars were legal for stock classes yet they had serial numbers and although it was not recommended, did get licensed for the street in a few cases.

Can't do that with todays limited production factory racecars that have been allowed to run in Stock. They should be running in S/S only.
