    It would also be hilarious as you lap all the Ferraris and Porsches at the racetrack

    All the answers are in this magazine.



    Frank, GM's Director of Design in Burbank, CA imported an Ariel as a kit car, assemble it, and registered it at the local DMV as a kit car under "Special Construction". If you can register this baby in CA you can bet it will be 50 state legal.

    Not a bad idea to buy the kit without the engine and then supply your own K20 motor. K20s are abundant in CA. And I believe under "Special construction" you are smog exempt.
