GT-4 Import to US Options

[cardshark525]

I searched the site for a while and didn't find a topic about it so... if I was interested in importing a GT-4 to the United States as opposed to simply swapping a 3sgte engine into a GT or ST what would I need to do (besides obviously buy the car and bring it here). I am aware of the cost to bring something like that overseas however I have a few questions.
#1 Would the car be street legal?
-With the car being right hand drive and probably from the UK would it be road legal?
#2 If not what would I need to do to make it road legal?
-Simple as emissions checks or complete conversion to LHD?

Obviously the money isn't there right now, however just a thought for the future...

I think that Lil Joe is actually in the process of doing this for when he's stationed back from Okinawa. He posted some good info on how to do this too... IIRC it involved chopping the car up and importing it in pieces as a kit, and reassembling it stateside. As to it's street legal-ness, I have no idea. Personally, as much as I love our cars, I don't think that the time and excessive expense is worth it. I know that's blasphemous, but it's true. For the same $$ or less you can get a faster AWD turbo car w/less miles on it. That's just my opinion though. If you're rolling in cash and have the determination, know-how and resources, why not?
