Not Ranked
I am also interested in what it takes to LEAGALLY register a replica in Georgia and in the area that emissions inspection is required.
It would influence whether I build a "Cobra" or not and how the car is built if so.
For instance since I've figured out that it will be titled as a "2006 Factory Five Mark III" Will they issue a waiver so that it does not have to pass OBD requirements? If they will not, I gather that it is impossible to construct one using 5.0 Mustang donor drive train. I really do not have a problem making it pass the sniffer test, but the electronics could be a problem. I gather that if it does have the pass OBD requirements the only real option is to build it to accept a modern modular motor. I would prefer a more "accurate" replica, but if that is what it takes, I guess that is what it takes.
I am not interested in any funny stuff, just a straight forward explanation of what the requirements actually are.
I am a little surprised that SEMA and the Replica companies are not pushing for some sort of exemption. It is also hard to believe that a very small number of very low mileage (generally) enthusiast cars are going to make significant impact, but none the less, I don't want to end up with a car I can't drive and enjoy.
