Exactly my point Phil.

Most cobras are weekend toys. Very few are daily drivers. However, whilst we are classed as an ICV we are bound by current ADR's.

Dare I also say that most cobras are well tuned. Even the carby engines are well tuned and I'd guess clean as opposed to other carby clangers on the road.

Queensland Transport now says you can use any engine you like but you have to prove it complies. The problem is no testing station.

It is my argument that a stroked 351 Windsor, with aftermarket ECU, 4 barrel throttle body, bouncing off the O2 sensors on the highway would easily pass.....but how do you prove it?.
