Hot rods have exemptions because they are on conditional rego and have limited allowance for use on the road - only for club events and within a certain radius of your home. Cobras are on full rego so have to behave like any other car.

Lets look at this another way: the Rodders got organised in the 70's to protect their hobby from the govt changes. Us ICV builders can't even get over the fact that although our cars look different (I drive a 7, not a cobra) they really are the same thing in the eyes of the law. We all need to get together and work things out to protect our hobby - something I spend a lot of time discussing with the RMS / RTA so that I can enjoy the simple things in life, such as live side pipes on my V8 ICV.

Check out the ozclubbies forum and you'll see that there is a lot of effort put into getting items such as live side pipes, 4 point harnesses etc legal and registerable. The works of NSW are now flowing into Vic, with some engineers down there also happy to see the same. No exemptions - they're fully legal.
