Lancer Evo 7 import
If the 2003 movie fast and the furious was legally allowed to import the Evo 7, I'm sure they had to crash test the vehicle and get it approved, wouldn't we be allowed to import it with that defense and proof alone and just switch the crash beams and change dial?
I want a RHD Evo so bad

The Evo 7 is not on the List of Nonconforming Vehicles Eligible for Importation - NHTSA
http://www.nhtsa.gov/cars/rules/import/
There are a very small number of legal LHD 7's in the US. I think they came in during the making of F&F.

You could petition to have the Evo 7 added to the list, but unless you have proof the vehicle meets the Federally mandated safety standards, and EPA emission standards (like actually able to provide the documentation), then I doubt you will get very far.

To my understanding, not on list of nonconforming vehicles eligible for importation = not Federally legal.

If it's anything like Canada you can import the cars, just not legally drive them. There is a shop in Calgary with a rhd Evo X show/shop car. Car cant be driven as it doesn't fall under the 15 year rule yet.

In the US, I don't think you can own them period. I've heard of cars imported that were not on the list were confiscated and destroyed. That said it still doesn't stop people. Even though the imported cars were registered within a certain state, the feds can still take them away since they are federally illegal.
