This all sounds like personal "interpretation" based upon what one has heard and or believes to be true more or less, as each side could easily read the same document and come away with a completely different "interpretation" of said document.

I think at this point it's best to agree that not everyone shares the same view and move onto documenting more actual information.

I have my own opinion that a car could have the Ram Air Engine, but an actual Ram Air "Car" would have the actual Ram Air Package and as such, would think it would be called out under a specific designation on the paperwork as stated. To me it makes more sense that it's the whole package (including functional RA) that makes it a Ram Air "car".

That is what I understood from a lengthy conversation a group of us had with Jim Wangers in talking about the differences in the GTO/Firebird lines and the higher end cars such as the H.O.'s, RA, TA's and later SD cars and how they were established. He did say there were a LOT of changes made due to inter-office politics and lots of things were worded specifically to be able to sneak things through the system so to speak. But again, that's just my interpretation.

We now return you to your regularly scheduled thread...
