I sure hope you actually get your registration and that I can convince a local guy to do the same.

There was some text written in the engine bay by the air intake. There's supposedly a difference between a car build for CA vs a car than can be legally sold in CA. I would need to do a search to see if I can find it again, but I remember reading a post in these forums that said all the ZR-1s were the same. There were no special ones made specifically for CA. Maybe others with more knowledge in this area can shed more light on this topic.
