The same would be true if someone brought a 1969 ZL-1 Camaro to a car show. It would likely win, but if it was bone stock it would be eligible for the unmodified class.
Likewise, if a COPO was entered into a race class as unmodified, it could compete against a Demon, Drag Pack, or Cobra Jet and have some competition, otherwise it would likely win the class. If a 1969 ZL-1 entered into an unmodified class, it would likely win against cars of the same era, and in many chances, some modern day vehicles. Just because it is special and/or rare doesn't mean it should be excluded from it's class because it is special and/or rare.

It has nothing to do with fault. It’s just the right thing to do. Look at it from a different perspective….by your rationale very few cars, if any, would be entered in the unmodified class. So if you’ve tinted your windows or added a cold air intake…you’re now modified.
So how come no one puts their cars with a painted engine bay or aftermarket exhaust in the modified class? Maybe those are the real assholes for not entering the right class…make up your mind…can’t have it both ways.
