They never rolled off the GM assembly line, my Firebird did and further was raced as a stocker from birth.

And my RX7 left the assembly line with a rotary. It's not a rotary car anymore.

I'm pretty sure 100% of CR would agree that there is more to a SS car than having big tires and a full interior lol. If it doesn't have a SS engine combo, it's not a SS car. It was, and that's great. But at this moment in time, my '93 Ford Festiva is more of a stocker than your firebird lol.

You have a big tire bracket car, and that's cool. It could even run SS again. Not a SS car now though.

Your opinion, mine is all that counts but every class racer that knows of the car and it’s former campaign refers to it as a super stocker and not just any super stocker but the best of its kind as well the best 4th gen Fbody Super Stocker to come out of MPR and the lightest.

I know in D1 it's flip flopped a few times over the past few years, used to be Stock out first then it went to Super Street and then back to Stock. I loved when we did the rotating rotation about 15 years ago moving classes around, so they weren't always 5th out or last out.

Moving it around seems like a nice idea, but I like knowing the run order before I get to the race track and each day when I rise. FRom somebody that's almost always showing up at the race track late, it's nice that SG runs 5th instead of first lol
