Kevin2772 Report post Posted March 11, 2008 I do know of a certain florida person (non member) who slapped a florida plate on his FXX and has been seen driving it around....Wouldnt be the first time this has happened! But driving a race car on the streets brings up a new realm of lawsuits. Speeding is one thing, but you are driving a car without the proper safety equipment installed for wrecks, and because its not street legal, insurance sure as hell isnt going to cover it in an accident!

LPDADDY Report post Posted March 11, 2008 With all due respect, absolutely wrong. The 959 was never built for a street car and was never submitted origionaly to EPA or DOT for street approval. Just out of curiosity, what state is Toronto in again? I am not so sure how to take your response so i am going to give you the benefit of the doubt and assume that you are somewhat mentally challenged. The 959 came in 2 different variations,the comfort and the sport.Both were designed for the street just about everywhere in the world except for USA and Canada. Yes,Toronto is in Canada just in case you are having problems with geography too,Ontario to be specific. I have no issues with you but do yourself a favour and don't open your stupid mouth before getting all the relevent facts right.You end up looking like less of a tool that way Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Driftracer3 Report post Posted March 11, 2008 With all due respect 959 was intended as a full streetcar in europe. European streetcars which were NOT produced for the U.S market are elligible for the SHOW and Display permit. GTR is NOT a European streetcar. But they must meet EPA standards first.

Im still not seeing how his blue and yellow diablos are street legal but I know on 6 speed he stated they were! They are not. And it's GTR btw, GT is different. Proper safety equipment? Don't race cars have roll cages? Doesn't matter. If the cars don't go through crash test regs, its open and shut. Doesn't matter if they're 'safer' Insurance companies actually don't like to see roll cages in a street car (for parttime drag/road racing) because if you wreck the car on the street with no helmet on, you're asking to split your skull open.

VRAlexander Report post Posted March 11, 2008 If he is in California, hopefully he isn't doing something stupid to attract "more attention" Dont worry, if he comes to Cali with the GTR, he will be cruising high schools picking up VanDykes..... lol As a slight tangent topic how about a Roy section on this forum...

kane00 Report post Posted March 11, 2008 Regardless of the person involved it is good to know the law. I spoke with Dick Merritt at DOT on several occasions regarding cars I wanted to purchase that were not US legal cars. As was pointed out, this is a Federal issue not a state one. If the cars are not in the country under the Show and Display law (And as Mr. Merritt told me, that means show...and display, if it meant show display and drive they would have said that) then they are here illegally. No if's ands or buts. It does not matter if the car has some how been brought in and registered. It is still illegal. He also informed me that though it is not a witch hunt for grey market cars like it used to be, the risk you really run is that if anything happens (accident, hit some one etc) your insurance company will not cover the car. It is also a point that the car can be insured. However the insurance company does not have to cover the claim according to the law. For me that was more than enough to know I wouldn't want to take that kind of risk. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

prohydro Report post Posted March 12, 2008 There's a "loophole" in the Florida DOL laws that allow race cars to be licensed as road cars under the Specialty Built/Kit Car moniker. There were two former IRL cars that were licensed in 2006 (or early 2007) this way and sold. I don't know the regs if a car went to another state, but just because a car was once a racecar doesn't mean it wouldn't be allowed on the street. Look at Jim Glickenhaus, he drives his GT40 and Lola T70 on the street, and they're plated: AB: Word has it that you're one of those rare car collectors who doesn't mind putting miles on the pieces in his collection. How many miles will be on the P4/5's odometer after a year? (In other words, do you have plans to actually drive it?) JG: Over the years I've put over 500,000 miles on my cars. 40K miles on my Lola T-70, 25K miles on my Ford MK-IV, I just put 1100 kms on my 166 Spyder Corsa at the Giro di Sicilia. I drove my 88 TR 155,000 miles. She will be driven. http://www.autoblog.com/2006/08/02/autoblo...e-ferrari-p4-5/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
