I would have thought there would have been a huge difference between factory vehicles and ICVs.

Yes, I know none of the hotrods would come within a bulls roar of passing todays ADRs - which the Cobra's must comply with, although a let stringent list via ICV compromises - but only are required to pass the "rules of the day" for the production car that they once were.

It's a shame that NSW RTA has taken the stance they have, but maybe the way around it at this stage is to go for club rego and continue the fight for full rego. At least you can enjoy your pride and joy on the mean streets of Sydney.
