As far as glossing anything over, I wasn't trying, just telling Rory there has been a process for years.

Bret, I'm not disagreeing with you directly...see my comments to him. That approval process seems to be somewhat fluid, sometimes it happens rapidly, some times not.
But based on the existence of a car that seems to be complete before it's in the guide....GUMP admits it is not yet in the guide, and alludes that the specs are not yet finalized. Seems to be contrary to how the process has functioned in the past. Then we can add things like the transmission adapter, that currently only exists for that one car....I know you understand the mental gymnastics behind how FEs ended up with C4s...It only steepens the slippery slope that Stock Eliminator maintains a tenuous grasp on. Based on some of that "logic" it would be perfectly legal to use a Metric GM transmission in something like a Fox body Mustang stocker.
