This is actually the interesting section of what you found:
50-state emissions certification is planned. Currently, these systems are legal for vehicles that may never be used on public highways, off road use only.
Let's see: How many folks who paid at least $41,000 for a car would actually want something that makes it ILLEGAL for most uses????
Plenty of folks drive around in "illegally modified" cars. Anything from cat. delete to funky headlights. It all depends on how rigorous an inspection it has to pass.
