George,
Thanks for the clairification, If you did the research and spoke to Vince Piggins in the past about this very issue you would clearly understand the greater significance of the production of these cars and just how they supported Chevrolet racing and the SCCA Trans Am Teams in 70.
You see Chevrolet could not meet the SCCA rules by making 1000 spoilers. They had to factory produce the car with this package to meet the SCCA rules. This was a very hard task given the short introduction of the 70 and the mid production request from the Chapparal team for the extra downforce needed to keep the cars on the track at high speed.
1000 cars were required by SCCA rules, and according to Piggins far, far, less were actually made - Chevrolet cheated and got away with it.
See if you have the time - attend any vintage Trans-AM racing event you will get respect for these cars fast by seeing them in person.
So in review I still find your "Stretch" comment offensive. So be it.
By the way yesterday was great and today I am also having a great day. You have one too.
Phil
