title vs rpo codes

just a quick and simple question or two,
WS9=V8 firebird
Y82=trans am
W66=formula

my title say firebird formula but my rpo codes are WS9, Y82, WS6.
so the car is a trans am ws6, but the title goes off the WS9 code so firebird formula is what shows up on title instead of firebird trans am? is this how everyones title is?
also WS6 is never on a title right?

As long as you have it insured correctly, then I would not worry.
