Sadly you are right and this is exactly why North America has gone to ****z over the last 40 years.
People buy quantity over quality because consumerism gurus told them to.
Any car can be made faster using hot rodded stock parts... Id much rather drive a stock looking iron headed pontiac in the 14s than a 11s Pontiac built with a pile of chinese knock off parts.
I like old cars as time capsules, slapping a bunch of made in 2023 chinese casted junk on a 70s vintage car does not make much sense to me.
Do we still call this a pontiac engine or a pontiac style engine? It may sounds a lilttle extreme but you get the point.
