I think it's fine if you have the performance to back up the badging, but if you have a car with lower performance than what you are advertising it as, there is a problem.

i actually disagree with one thing here, you fathers car is not a SS, but not a v6 or what ever it is. you could have a 800HP v6 camaro, but its still not a SS. its a v6. if you put a LSX into a SS carmaro its not a SS anymore. a SS is a LS3 or a L99. thats what it has on the build sheet.
it has nothing to do with performance with the badge. even if it out performances the model above yours it still doesn't not make it the same model.
now if i was your father i would just keep no badges on it. because GM didn't make a SS with that engine from factory that year. if you were to go to a auction with that car, would you call it a SS ? thats what i thought.
