Here's a suggestion: try to make your own using the MSDS as a guide.
Isopropanol (CAS 67-63-0): 60-100 %
Ingredients determined not to be hazardous: 10-30 %
Solvent naphtha (petroleum), light aliph.: (CAS 64742-89-8) 0-1 %
Isopropyl alcohol (rubbing alcohol) makes up at least 60% of the product, 10-30% is an unknown and non-haz item (water maybe?). According to the MSDS, there is a "fruity alcohol fragrance", maybe the unknown substance is a food syrup of some sort. I haven't seen it in person, but I'm assuming it's a solution so the unknown would have to be slightly polar.
Anyone have access to a mass spectrometer? GC-MS?

It shouldn't be that much. When I use to supply samples to our chemists to run, it would be around 100mL or so, but they would use far less (if I remember correctly). 100mL is like a few ounces.

Seriously though, I'm willing to spend a few bucks and mix the alcohol and corn syrup in the correct proportion, but the question is: who wants to try it? 
We'll call it Methland VHT... straight from the 951 (formerly 909).

I think things are getting a little carried away here with all the street racing bullshit laws. Now no vht, what the ****, this just pisses me off even more.
Im moving out there in the spring and already not looking forward to what I am going to do with my car. So no body can have a nice hotrod street car in california? I dont believe that.

No didn't you know that?
Hell it will be illegal to take showers longer than 5mins soon.
Damn hippies and mis-guided officials think they are solving something by doing this? People will still get VHT, people will still race.
I can just see it now, homebrew VHT dealers near every "track"

Also, the MSDS states VHT is manufactured in Australia, FWIW.
Even if it's not discontinued/illegal, the thought of homebrew is exciting.
