Dave,
I am also getting ready to go through the NY DMV gauntlet... Everyone I know has registered their vehicle in another state, then transfered to NY. I am going to go through the DMV process with my Superformance, and document the steps to help anyone else following my steps.
The SPF is already in pretty good shape for passing NYS, and has a heater/defroster. You will probably have to add one to get your FFR to pass. I need to add a PCV system, which I was going to do anyways....
I will post updates as I go. Probably won't be for another 30-60 days, though. Let me know if I can be of any help to you...
Someone has to be first....
