As a relative "outsider" I think there is a bigger picture emerging here.
Firstly, the Australian culture follows the american one in many ways.
From a car perspective HP rules the day, something which has probably materialised out of the historically cheap fuel that both countries offer.
Across in Europe, there has been a drive towards power to weight ratio, again driven by the astronomical cost of fuel. What happened to the Jag XJ 220 - concepted to possess a V12 - produced with Metro turbo!!!
Secondly, we should always bear in mind that if you modify your car you always run the risk of being found out by the law - remember that part of insurance we all ignore - mod's, whether it be alloy wheels or pods - don't tell them and then make a claim after an accident - NO INSURANCE!!!
We all have to follow the standards when registering our Cobra's. Its those changes we make after that is in question. In this instance nothing has changed - modify from the original specification then expect to be caught out!
Legalities - nobdy like's them
Its a damn shame!!!!!!!!!!!!
