Whether or not anyone is "right" is their own opinion. In my opinion, If there were any RA V cars, They had to be put into a street car at some point, and I think most people would agree that you can't really find the overall performance of an engine without it being in the car. The car limits the engine (steering, cornering, etc.). Who's to say that the engines were taken out after testing? If GM could get away with putting the engine in a couple of the Judges, Firebirds etc., why wouldn't they? It's all about the consumer, not the Govt. Just exactly how big was the fine for a non-smog-legal car? Maybe it would've been worth it. Think of the price of those cars! I'm sure no RA V would've been cheap, and GM could've paid off the Govt. for their "fine" with the profit from the car. And who's to say that there wasn't some Govt. conspiracy where they let GM put the RA V in a couple of cars? What would the Govt. care if there were a few cars that weren't exactly legal? Pay them enough money and they'll keep their trap shut.
