I think that this is all a political money issue really. It doesn't have anything to do with safety, 2.5mph bumpers, "clean air" or anything other than politicians, insurance execs, etc. getting more $$$$ for themselves somehow. I haven't seen a motorcycle with 2.5mph bumpers yet and they are federally legal. I haven't seen a "safe" motorcycle for that matter either. Clean air act? Come on, give me a break... Or maybe I'm mistaken and a '72 Cuda with a straight pipe really does meet EPA regs...

I disagree with you but lets leave it at that. We are both Lotus nuts.. The basis of my issue here is simple. I have a lot of buddies that work at Lotus. I have in depth knowledge of how difficult it is for Lotus to bring in these cars for track day enthusiasts like me (and you?). The reason that they have to jump through so many hoops is simple, the government does not want these cars to end up on the street. Personally, I want to be able to buy a 211 or some future Lotus track car when I want to. I don't what that option removed due to someone trying to get around the system. My comment got your goat, your post got mine. Enough said...
