Ernie, several years ago I used to bomb around town in an all original 1970 1/2 Z-28 Camaro. It used to steam me when I'd see a "poser", a wannabe Camaro sporting the stripes and emblems but definitely not an original.

Now after 20 years of mellowing out (LOL), it just doesn't bother me anymore. When someone asks me the 427 question, I just smile and say "Right now I'm running a 392 stroker" and leave it at that. If they want to give me crap, go ahead.....in one ear and out the other. Life's too short to raise your blood pressure over a false wrapper. To each his own, that's my new motto in life. And if the purists don't like it, let them sport the high blood pressure. My two cents....
