Definition of what a kit car is has been redefined by NHDOT. Kit cars that do not feet their expected profile can be impounded if they do not meet the regulations. More importantly ST205 model is not on approved importation list so "legal" is actually illegal.
Also... do you remember companies like evolution imports who were allegedly importing gt-4's into usa? Well they got busted because what they were doing was illegal (kit cars that did not fit regulations). There are only three legal ways to drive a gt4 here in the states. One is when you are on vacation from Canada and obtain proper paperwork and bring the car back with you and 2 is if you have official racing license and car was built as a race only car (and not a road car made into a race car). In the latter you have a limited amount of miles that you can drive and even more limited amount of time after which you have to ship the car back to where it came from. Also you can import a show car but there are so many restrictions and regulations that you will actually have to provide evidence of attending events and car has to be of historical or innovation importance. All required info could be found here. http://204.68.195.151/cars/rules/import/ -------------------- Captain Pessimist
