I do remember that when the Chev group did the "ZR2 Big Doggie" C4 with a MARK 4 BBC with a TPI ECM that there was no way that a BBC equipped C4 would be marketable by GM as it competed with the upcoming LT5 equipped ZR1 car and that it would surely get tagged with the EPA gas guzzler tax and that was against policy.

I don't know why there is an apparent conflict, the EPA source I listed was a simple quick search. I have no idea as to its accuracy or validity.
