And all "legally", as per the existing regs and a middle finger aimed squarely at Sacramento. What a country!

I genuinely hope that this isn't more CS hype and they actually follow through with it. ANY news (like this) within our hobby is ultimately good for the hobby. It brings attention to these cars, which attracts more buyers/enthusiasts, most which ultimately "punt" and buy something far more affordable like the copies we all enjoy. What could be wrong with that?
Uh, yea, I don't know what any of this means. Northern California has swimming pools and they're filled with water. And there's a gas station about 10 mins from house that sells Sunoco leaded and unleaded racing gas.

However, if a buyer of a new Shelby/Kikrham Comp Cobra, a car that can't be registered in CA and thus can't be operated legally or "legally" on the streets and highways of CA, but wants to "terrorize" the neighborhood and freeways of CA, then said buyer will likely have their new Shelby/Kirkham Comp Cobra confiscated by the authorities and sold at a government auction. The CA Attorney General's Office does pass by this site occasionally.

As for "stretching my legs", that I do 6-7 days per week. Along with other strenuous exercise.
