Signed it.


I do think there should still be a smog sniffer test only, but the visual part is not needed. Who cares if you have 1000hp as long as you can still pass the sniffer test.

You really don't expect the political class to give up any power do you?

I think this would either reduce the cost of intake/exhaust etc. and or increase performance it costs a lot of money for company's to get that little sticker.

. . . it costs a lot of money for company's to get that little sticker.

That's why companies like Edelbrock don't particularly mind these regulatory schemes. It protects their market by raising the barrier to entry. The protected higher cost can be passed onto the consumer as they don't have competing options from start ups. A LOT of shit falls broadly under this kind of system in the US and why everyone has to pay more for a lot of things.

Yep, kills the home garage inventor.

And you notice how many companies Vic has bought up in the last decade, probably at fire sale prices. And I hate Edlecrock products.
