Senior Info = Void ?
Sounds like the same guy. About the only other person that has spent so much time on the DOT site..

People that dont understand how long the process of legalization is.

They dont understand its not just DOT its EPA - and also if the car is for California then more time- stuff like the OBD II system on the Evo VII is missing some components.

 

The mere fact that no one has posted a picture or proof that their car is legal would lead me to believe that they really are not.

I think some of the USA rules are pretty stupid, but if they were not so strict some dip**** would import something, then sue everyone because it was not crash worthy

 

I'm not Senor Info, I can assure you of that.

I've got less than 20 posts on this board. It would be pointless for me to have multiple handles.

 

they can't impound your car and destroy it because its not street legal, all they can do is take away the registration on it and the plates, it would still be legal to own it as a race car, its not like its illegal to own a car that isn't street legal, you just can't drive it on the street

 

Wanna bet? If the car was brought into the country under illegal pretenses, they most certainly can seize it. While it might not automatically get crushed, the alternative would be for it to get sold at an auction as "parts".

The requirements to have an imported "race car" are a lot more strict than you might think. You can just put an unmodified Evo 7 onto a boat and way "Oh, but it's only a race car!" Nevermind the lack of roll cage, fire suppression, racing harnesses, and the presence of a 6 disc CD changer and air conditioning...

To paraphrase the import rules "If the car can not be modified to comply with Federal standards after xx days, it must be exported or destroyed"
