Latest Ct Emissions Requirements
After having sold my ERA FIA a few years ago, I just ordered a 427 Cobra from ERA. In checking DMV Composite vehicle site got a big surprise. All composites registered in 2007 must have an engine which will meet 1980 emissions requirements. Needless to say I wasn't happy!! Talked to one of the supervisors at the emissions branch of DMV and he said that is correct. The specs are 220 HC and 1.3% CO. I told him I doubt that any big block Cobra could meet the requirement. His answer was don't blame us or DMV, the legislature made the changes. Another example of rediculous laws effecting the kit car market. He did say however, that the requirements might be revised in 2007 but not by much. It is obvious that there are some in Ct that want to get composites off the road. Guys we need to watch this kind of thing as it could effect those that were built before 2007 at some time in the future.
Stay tuned!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
