Any news on the DP2? It looks awesome.
I'm a big fan of the 4G63 (I drive an Evo IX), but I like the idea of a Chevy LS7 in an exocar weighing 1600 lbs. I also like how the DP2 has a full cage around the cockpit.

However, only 500 cars are allowed the special build status per year. First come, first served. After 500 people have registered their "special" cars, the emissions standards of the current year are used for any remaining builds.

After California's 500 SPCNS permits are issued, you can't get another for the rest of the year. It means that not only the car would have to meet current emissions, it would also have to meet crash-worthiness, bumper height, airbags, MPG, ABS, ...and a partridge in a pear tree.

no it just means you have to wait another year and try again. that's the cost of living in california (one of many). every kit/specialty manufacturer is faced with this problem because not a single one can meet all current-year regulations.

Agreed- that's what I meant by "for the rest of the year". Thanks for the clarification.

There is a SEMA-sponsored bill in the house to increase the number of specialty vehicles from 500 to 750.
