New Connecticut Emissions Program
I just left the new Connecticut State Emissions web site at www.ctemission.com and according to the state my carburated Windsor SPF has to meet the limits for a vehicle produced in the year 2000. The best part is, a buddy of mine has a 427 2x4 ERA and he does not have to be tested at all, he's exempt! Why, because the idiots at DMV registered him as a 65 while they registered me as a 2000.
Does the craziness ever end in the state? Bob |
I always thought that limited production vehicles (<500 per year) are exempt from testing. If so, your 2000 composite should also be exempt.
Drop me an email and we can discuss. I have had some good contacts at the DMV who were able to clarify the system and who is exempt. gafridland@yahoo.com Gene |
Bob,
Sounds as if the California lunacy is spilling over into your state. Are you sure your Governor isn't a friend of our Emperor ? That type of stuff is the norm here and has been for as long as I can remember. Ron **) :JEKYLHYDE |
Although I'm from Mich and not CT the emissions issue can be a mystery. I'm in the process of installing a P/T in my Cobra that I know would not pass tail pipe testing if it should come back to Mich (and there is recent press that it will). At the recent Woodward Dream Cruise I asked some of the cobra owners what they would do if mandatory testing returned and most answered that our cars should be exempt??? I know from reading other treads that in some states this is not true. The problem is if you try to be proactive on this, no one knows how a future law may be written, so I am reluctantly moving forward with my current build plans hoping some day that I won't have to replace cam, intake, heads, etc.

Request for Exempt Status
Will post the reply to my e-mail inquiry, I thought the Cobra ( Composite ) would have automatically received exempt status.
Subject: Request for Exempt Status RE: CT38538 Above is a 1966 Cobra kit car which according to the DMV had to be registered as a 2000 Composite. THe DMV assigned the year to represent the first year registered in CT. Prior to CT, the Cobra kit car was registered in the state of Wisconsin as a 1966 Ford. The engine is a 1966 Ford 351W . Requesting this vehicle be classified as a special interest and given exempt status due to the year of the engine and the designation of Composite |
