Sorry, cross posting on the I-club is not allowed. :lol: Just kidding!
Okay, for real now, this is what I recall from looking into it a year or two ago:
1. You have to make sure it will pass the crash test if it's not federally approved (which it is not.) So that is a deal killer right there.
2. Or, you can sign a waiver saying you will only use it off-road for racing purposes only (basically) and never on the street. They can inspect your car at random and at will to be sure you're not cheating. I should also mention that the paperwork involved, not to mention the costs, rules this out for the average Joe. You have to get a bond in the value of the car, ship the car here, and then if the government changes their mind, ship it back. It's messy.
3. Assuming the car does not meet federal crash tests, I doubt many insurance companies would want to cover you for collision, and that could be a problem.
4. Best octane (which may not be 1=1 rating) I've seen at the pump is around 92 - 93, and some (few and far between) outfits sell 100 octane at around $4.00 a gallon. VERY hard to find, though.
5. No annual inspection, other than some states want a smog check. California you'll never pass, and some other states (as far as I can tell) just don't even care! Like Colorado!
Okay, see, what do you need that "other" club for? :lol:
