| If 2 cars make the same torque, one at 4500, the other at 9000, all else being equal, which one will get to Kansas City first ...? | |

The one without the navigation system. Nobody goes to Kansas City on purpose.

Replying to: wideglide (Oct 06, 2006 4:08 pm) Just takes some doing by the person purchasing the car, its not for everyone, but people who have the will to drive something very different can find legal ways to do it... they also assume all the risks associated with it and most do, thats why it is possible but difficult. I personally know people who have built kits and imported cars with a much lower build quality that the DP1 that have had zero problems getting the car thru the local DMV. It all depends on how bad someone wants to do it. I see no problem with it as long as people know what they are doing....
