Hahaha yes even if it were true why would anybody want to ***** themselves out to the Feds for $20 a day? OK just assume they really want to borrow your car. Whatever the agenda might be, nothing good could come out of this for the average Z driver. In my opinion It means they are looking for ammunition to place more restrictions, taxes, or legislation on performance cars.

On a side note... Is there anyway to move a mouse around this site without some damn window popping up? LOL

I agree. They also included a 'Questions and Answers' page in the envelope, and one of the questions was 'What if my vehicle fails emissions testing?'

They *claim* that none of the info will be used against the vehicle owner. So that means they are looking to go after the manufacturers.

Someone asked about the envelope... if you get an envelope like this, beware. Uncle Sam wants to take your Z away...

Sh*t, if the EPA gets their hands on my Z with over 500hp, I will be doomed.

LOL they would probably wreck your car test driving it! But on the bright side I am sure they will replace it with a nice GM hybrid...
