I can not emphasize enough what a very dangerous idea this would be to try.

That said, since Macro Autosports (the Canadian Superformance dealer) won their case (I assume you've read these posts), you should contact Mr. Shok there and enquire about ordering a car and see what he says.
they really arent savvy. i brought in a 1948 Harley and they wanted to know where the manufacturers sticker on the frame was,why it didnt have turn signals and made me pay PST and GST before leaving...having said that you are taking a risk

i thought they lost their case. i will read up thanks
