CARB going away - New law - States will not be able to create their own emission standards

[Rapture]

Sure would have been nice if this happened a few years back. I wonder what if anything this may mean for future tunes of the V6.

'bout time. The rest of the country has been held captive by that loony toon state for too long. This should be a big help to the aftermarket developers.

could this mean somehow one day we won't have to SMOG anymore in Cali? one can dream

this is just the extra rules. the new ones and the old ones like CARB legal intakes etc

 

[seriously]

What a beautiful bill. CARB sucks and it allows CA to steer the entire automotive industry. Ridiculous really.

Took the words right out of my mouth, was thinking (and dreaming) the same exact thing! Also, pretty ironic, Lotus is considering moving off of the V6 because it would have trouble passing tougher emission standards coming in Europe, meanwhile the US is killing off the standard that gave them so much trouble on that very powertrain. Windle was right, very tough to plan in the global marketplace. Wondering how and if this might change the consideration for future powertrains destined for the US market.

Perhaps a dealer certified reflash to raise the redline to 7,200 and power a bit. I can dream too!
