To throw people off the scent, so to speak?

Maybe it was more of a misdirection than an outright "lie" . . . I suppose there could be reasons like it could physically fit but not fit without impacting crash performance and it wasn't felt that we needed to be party the whole story.

I got a very brief opportunity to drive a Z51 fitted with the 7-speed out on the track a couple of years back. Seemed easy enough to get whatever gear you wanted as far up as 5th, anyway. No reason a Camaro fitment should be any different.
