In developing our testimony for exempting CT Composites, CT term for kit cars & replicas,from emissions testing , the CT registration records were researched.

As of Feb., 2007, there were 337 Composites registered , as compared to over 3,000,000 passeger car registrations, negible impact.

Vehicles over 25 years old are considered to be antiques and already exempt from emissions testing.

Other supporting points were Composites limited annual mileage usage , not used for daily transportation , fair weather ( applies in CT ) cars, restricted usage by hobbyist insurance policies and supports a public good , such as charity car shows, cruise nights etc
