Hello Cobramaniacs -
I'm trying to put my butt in a Superformance GT40 here in California, and guys on other forums I frequent keep posting ominous things like, "A Superformance roller is NOT a kit car, read the law..." and "Superformance is on the DMV's radar, so watch out..."
So I read the law. Carefully. As near as I can make out, the SB100 law is set up SPECIFICALLY to cater to and accomodate businesses like Superformance, as long as they do not sell or install the drivetrain. It would appear that Superformance and their 3rd party installers are in compliance with both the letter AND the spirit of the SB100 law, and that if one does not fudge the paperwork in order to pay a cheaper fee, then the SB100 process is no problem.
Obviously, the guys at Hillbank / Superformance and the install shop look at me strangely when I mention SB100 horror stories... since they have been doing this successfully (and legally) for six years or so... They have no interest or desire in evading the law, and clearly are anxious to make sure their customers are in total compliance.
The guys on other forums trying to scare me away from Superformance don't actually own SB100 cars themselves (I don't think so anyway...), and can't actually refer me to anyone who has tried and failed, so...
Can anyone on here say that they've been DENIED an SB100 number on a Superformance roller that was assembled for them? Anyone?
If not comfortable posting, feel free to PM me with details...
