20 years in WI for collector plates. One time fee of $220 and no more emissions. Only restriction is that you can't drive it in January. Cobra got collectors in December or January so she still hasn't been out in the wild with them yet.
What did you do for your Terminator today?

Why the restriction in January?
Made an appt with Cobra dan to drop off vehicle mid-September. Much needed suspension and brake work... Maybe retune with 4# lower..Maybe lol
As if driving in January in ****ing WI is some walk in the park anyways
Yeah, I mean, same car CAN drive in January with a regular plate? Makes no sense to me except it reduces the registration from 12 months to 11 months with the dropped month maybe being the worse, weather wise. Hence the month picked was January. ???
No idea. Certainly most vehicles rolling around with collector plates don't get driven in winter anyway so it almost seems redundant. However, every once in a while I see something insignificant - like a 1998 Honda Accord - with collectors and I just assume they do it to skip out on emissions and registration.
Edit: I should add that the plates are ugly too. Medium blue with red characters and not customizable.
Requirements like this is to prevent people from abusing the plate type and using them on vehicles that are in fact a DD. For instance, in order to keep my Cobra on Collector Plates I have to prove that I have a normal registered vehicle for DD use and affirm that I do not DD with a Collector Plate.
This is also true in WI although they must not scrutinize it very closely because I listed the Vette and truck registered to my employer in OH as alternate vehicles to get me through January. ha
They look alright on a red cobra.
Yeah I suppose I could see that. Not so great on sonic blue, though. lol
I have a Cobra related Q and would like some opinions on this one and don't think it's thread worthy.
I currently have full bolt on's with SCT tune...nothing crazy 480RW.
(stock manifolds, hi flow catted X, Stingers)
I'm adding BBK FLH, catted X pipe, Stingers)
Is a new tune required?
I have a feeling if I ask my tuner he will say "Yes".
I have other mods planned for the car and with those mods I will be getting it retuned for sure but that's next year.
Would air/fuel be altered that much with FLH?
What do you think?

Should be fine. Do you have a wideband?
You might see boost drop a tad but you’re still moving the same amount of air

What fuel are you running?
No wideband.
Tuned on 94 pump gas.

A tune will be best. It will optimize it. Is it “required”…i would say probably not.
Now, if this were my car…I would personally have my tuner look at it knowing it’s being super safe and cautious…
Let us know what you decide.
Wide band is good insurance, don’t cheap out

Nice carbon fiber hood. Do you have aftermarket vents or will you use the factory vents?
That hood is sick !!
Thanks Bob. I have the stock vents and LFP vents. I think I’m gonna go with the LFP set. We’ll see. I’m getting the bottom painted satin silver and the whole hood cleared
