"Write Nancy Pelocy and Arnold the Terminator and tell them you are no girllie man and you want the state to move to a PCM test."

That's funny as hell! I'm living in South Carolina and could daily drive a race car! They'd say, "that's a nice car bo!" Since I'm going back to Cali in two years, I'd like to really get more info about passing smog with fast Camaros. Please PM me if you can give me any advice. I'm about to just buy an old 67-69 Camaro just to not fu*k with smog!!

Yeah, you can title/drive anything with turn signals, headlights, a rear view mirror and 1 side view mirror, as long as you have eye protection (no windshield, closed face helmet/goggles) in SC. It's awesome. I think they did away with emissions tests in 95 or 96. I have seen people driving cars that looks like they would barely run down the return road at the drag strip without being towed. If only they would change the nitrous laws. We have to have our bottle completely disconnected. Thats about it. You won't get stopped for a noise violation unless your popping your car off the rev limiter or doing a burnout. I <3 SC

You can usually get a smog hookup for $200-$300. Call it the performance tax =D
