50 state emission legal and question

[1FSTHRSE]

info:

The GT500 is 50 state emission legal as shipped from the factory. I called SVT and that is what they told me.

I forgot to have mine orderd with the California, NY emission package stated on the order form and window sticker. Mine is orderd from Nebraska and I will be registering it in NY. SVT said that on the underside of the hood is a sticker that states 50 state emission legal [or sometning like that]. I was told by NY DMV that as long as this sticker is there I will not have a problem getting it registered, otherwise I can't register it till it has 7500 miles on it.

 

My question to anybody who would like to respond is: what do your stickers say. [there could also be a sticker near the radiator bracket.] Hopefully someone from California, NY or one of the other states that require this package and someone from a state that does not require it could reply so I see if there is any difference.

 

Because they are all 50 state legal from the factory, there should not be anything physically different between the cars, just the declaration on the window sticker, and MSO recieved from the dealer at time of purchase. That is the info I have been told to this point.

 

thanks

Correct! All mustangs are 50 state emissions. I just went through all this for someone in CA. The sticker is under the hood. When you open the hood look up to the right side and it is there.

 

Our two for IL also had the same sticker saying it meets CA emissions. So you should not have any problem.

I'm in MA. but might be similar to NY.

Before buying, I had asked everyone involved with autos that I could think of.

I heard all kinds of horror stories about cars not having the fabled CA emissions listed

and not being able to register and so forth.

I ended up purchasing a car that did not have CA emissions listed on the sticker (MO).

When I got my inspection the tech did actually pick up on it.

The only difference it made was he had to do a reading off the port under the dash.

Plan B would have been to title it in another state and then title it in MA as a used car.

At that point, the whole CA issue becomes irrelevent BS.

Back in October I brought mine in to CA from Alabama. No issues getting it registered in San Diego. I did have to take it to the dealer to get it smog checked even though it only had 11 miles on it when I received it. Went to the DMV with all the purchase paperwork, the smog certificate and then had to take the vehicle to the "Certification line" where the DMV rep verified the VIN and emissions stickies. In and out of the DVM in about an hour with plates in my hand. No issues since.

I brought mine in from Michigan to San Diego and took it to DMV. Since it was purchased out of state, of course Calif. was going to find more ways to stick it to you. Hence the smog check on a brand new car. Problem was when I went to the Smog Check Station they had no emissions standards to check it against (this was first of July) so they had to call Sacramento. I got sent to The BAR station in Chula Vista. They said it was as clean a car as he ever tested. I wonder if we're going to be stuck in that every two year cycle from the get go for smog testing. I think it's 6 years on new cars now. Might still be 4, but I think I heard it was changed to 6. Overall, it went smoothly.

Mine came from Ohio to California. Same drill as you. When he was smogging he couldn't get the code from the computer on mine either. Is uggested he put "Shelby" in rather than Ford. Bingo! It worked. Next to DMV for inspection and tax and regisration. That was in the 2nd week of July and itd been fun ever since! :D

SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) -- At least 11 states are ready to implement standards crafted by California that would lower the emissions of greenhouse gases from cars, sport utility vehicles and pickup trucks.

ADVERTISEMENT

 

 

But first they need permission from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.

 

California officials hoped to make their case Tuesday to get a waiver from federal rules and win approval for regulations that would force the auto industry to change how it makes cars.

 

"The California process is well advanced and it's the most immediate, viable pathway to start controlling greenhouse gases," California Attorney General Jerry Brown told The Associated Press. "California has a plan in place. We're ready to go."

 

That plan is a 2002 California law that requires automakers to cut emissions by 25 percent from cars and light trucks and 18 percent from sport utility vehicles starting with the 2009 model year.

 

Air pollution standards typically are set by the federal government. But because California began setting vehicle emissions standards before the federal government, the state is allowed under the Clean Air Act of 1970 to set its own standards.

 

Other states can then choose to follow either the federal or California standards.

 

Officials from eight other states -- including attorneys general from New Jersey, Rhode Island and Connecticut -- were scheduled to testify in support of California's request for a waiver from the federal rules.

 

"This is a states' rights issue," said Bill Becker, executive director of the National Association of Clean Air Agencies. "California is a laboratory for innovation."

 

EPA officials have declined to say how they will rule. Tuesday's hearing came after more than a year of inaction since the state submitted its petition in 2005.

 

Auto manufacturers have sued California and Vermont in an attempt to block the regulation, arguing that emissions standards are de-facto fuel economy standards which can only be set by the federal government.

 

Charles Territo, a spokesman with the Alliance of Automobile Manufacturers in Washington, D.C., said the industry will ask the EPA to deny California's request in favor of a national program to curb greenhouse gases.

 

"Manufacturers believe there needs to be a national, federal and multi-sector approach to regulating greenhouse gases," Territo said.

 

Territo said the industry also plans to challenge California's legal standing, saying the state has not met certain legal criteria for a waiver under the federal Clean Air Act. He declined to offer specifics.

 

Since the inception of the act, the EPA approved 90 types of waivers for California and failed to act on five of its requests, according to California EPA secretary Linda Adams.

 

"We are on very strong legal ground, and if they plan to deny our waiver they are going to have to really look around for a reason," Adams said in a conference call with reporters Monday.

 

Schwarzenegger last month said the state will sue if the EPA does not act on the state's request by October 25.

 

The auto regulations are a key part of California's overall strategy to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, which scientists blame for the Earth's warming temperature over the last three decades. The state is the world's 12th largest producer of greenhouse gas emissions, 40 percent of which come from transportation sources.

 

The state last year embarked on an effort to reduce its emissions by 25 percent by 2020. A 2006 law relies on the auto regulations to accomplish 17 percent of the overall target.

 

President Bush last week signed an executive order giving federal agencies until the end of 2008 to continue studying the threat of greenhouse gas emissions and what to do about them. Critics fear the directive could undermine state efforts.

 

In an opinion piece published in The Washington Post on Monday, Schwarzenegger and Connecticut Gov. M. Jodi Rell said Bush's directive "sounds like more of the same inaction and denial."

I bought my GT500 in Arizona. When I brought it back to California I had to smog the car to get it licenced even though it had the 50 state emissions tag on the hood. If it has the 50 state emissions tag it should be ready for any state I was told. My car passed with no problem in california

The point here is that the government looks like it's going to be putting pressure on car manufacturers to adhere to tougher standards, hence be glad you own a GT-500 today.

They may not be available very soon because of these new requirements...1970's relived!
