What car do you have to drive and race around in real life

LOL emissions testing. Try living in the coal fields. We don't do emission tests here.... unless you count making sure you have an exhaust system in place.
Every state has annual inspection requirements though, it's just how much of an inspection you actually get varies dramatically from state to state.

I got one of those low mileage motors from Japan for my '83 Toyota after gunning it a bit too soon finishing up a stream crossing.
The water came up over the engine and down through the carburetor. :'(
Although it was flooded and looked more like a river at the time, the stream is usually so low any little beater car can cross it.
It was over 20 years ago and I'm still embarrassed when I pass that tiny little stream.

Yeah, I had that Trans Am when I lived in WV. The catalytic converter was hollow. It was cheaper to bust all the clogged innards out than buy a new one. There was also pretty good performance boosts to be had by removing all the smog control stuff. Stock, that car was choked down to like 150hp.
My primary car was smashed into just before I moved to northern VA.
So, I had to get my old 1988 Toyota (which was previously mainly used to haul trash to the landfill) to pass emissions tests.
It was a lot of work (done myself), but in the end the truck was running like new and I was glad that I did it.

Believe it or not there are only 17 states in the US that have some form of annual inspection, and some of those are only in select counties.

I am so lucky to live in one of those states too! LOL ON the bright side, the Esprit passed inspection last week. Not that I expected it to fail but with my luck, you never know!
