There are some jurisdictions like CA where these vehicles might not pass the SMOG testing and are limited to use on the track only. IMO if the EPA had its way that would be true on a national level. SEMA has blunted the attempt by CA and other local agencies to regulate the emissions from our vintage iron and I applaud their efforts to challenge the EPA on this point.
