Uh, Guys? (And Girls) - Easy GT-Four Registration Stateside, Why didn't we see this before? Options

[Espo]

So my buddy, who's been telling me my planned 3s swap is a waste (since I have an ST and won't be trusting myself with doing the work) just found out you can register a GT-Four stateside with no limitations. Now the only problem might be getting a whole one through customs and not a clip...but we do know about custom vehicle registration, right?

Since I live in New York, I found this: http://www.nydmv.state.ny.us/homemade.htm

But...there are no kit car registration limitations, no...well really anything except lots of fees and waiting on inspections.

Seriously, this is plausible to do, isn't it? Why aren't more of us doing it? Considering a GT-Four used is probably cheaper than a swap any day.

To all of you talking about kit car registrations, that's not what I'm referring to here. Kit cars can only be driven so many miles per year - if you look at the link I posted, the custom vehicle registration is an entirely different registration - the DMV assigns the car a vin, you have to get it put on the car, insurance for the car, etc. etc. and it has to pass inspection. We're not talking about importing a car and swapping vins or registering it as something else, but as what it actually is - a gt-four. Only, on your title, it'll say 1996 Toyota Custom Vehicle, not Celica.

@yarik: I believe only certain years of evos and stis are faster than a stock gt-four. And who needs four doors?
