Anyone else holding back on mods due to new smog laws?

I've stopped putting money into the car for now until some people start posting real world results towards the end of this year. The new DAD unit testing won't go into development until April, preliminary testing in July, and then a select few STAR shops in November, with full roll out not until January 2014.
For now, I'm just saving my money for a pre 75 project car to do an lsx turbo swap into.

Just curious why not pre 76? might open ya up to more possibilities, 75 and older are smog exempt.

Diesel powered 1997 year model and older or with a Gross Vehicle Weight rating (GVWR) of more than 14,000 lbs

Per the DMV's site, it's still 75 and older, otherwise I would look at 76 too.

Pre 76 means 75 and older you said pre 75.... so again i ask why not look at 1975 model year?
Your original statement said I am looking for pre 1975, pre meaning before so that is to say 1974 and older, I asked why not pre 1976, which is 1975 and older...

I guess I should have been much more specific in my original post. I have nothing against 1975 model year vehicles. So yes, my search for a potential lsx swap vehicle will definitely include vehicles from the 1975 model year and older.
My apologies if my post misled you in any way.

that being said, im not worried about smog.
i laugh inside when i pull up next to a hybrid knowing as the owner tries to "help" the enviroment, im polluting enough for myself, and him as well.

Ahh but your car is more energy efficient than that prius, you are actually burning your energy better, hence the HP gains. Also to make that car it is way more environmentally unfriendly than your car will ever be.
