Is it legal to drive a race car on street?
Oh god no. There are so much differences between those two... In fact, to make a long story short, a race car is basically build (or modified) to be the lightest and so the quickest possible, while a street car is build to be the safest, most comfortable, most useful, and most legal possible. So, for example, you will never find a race car with airbags or horn, like you will never find in a street car emergency stop or (really rarely) 8-points race safety belts.In fact, race cars are often (not always) street cars, that have been taken from the street, to make them race-legal and so, competitive and able to race by removing weight: removing all the "interior" of the car (rear seats, carpets, top, all useless gadgets and things on the console), putting light/race-spec replacement parts for example. P.S: I'm probably gonna edit this answer to explain it deeper, since it's an interesting question, but for the moment I don't have the time and energy to write a 10-feet long answer. But you can be sure I'm gonna put it longer.
Is it legal to drive an F1 car on the streets?
Because, there is no local area in the world where F1 cars would be street legal. It doesn’t have the requirements like ground clearance, lights, rear view mirror, proper suspension, engine, brakes and pretty much every bit of the car is refined and engineered to suit the track conditions but not the street..!!But the even bigger questions is why would even someone want to legalise something like that for the street? The reality of trying to drive one would be laughable…. you’d either destroy the front wing or breach it trying to drive down the driveway to leave your home…. and i’ll list out the odds of driving it..You have to be able to drive it with almost “no brakes” as you can never get them to working temperature on these streets.You need to have a new set of tires for every 20 miles or so considering the road conditions.Even if you did, the road debris and the lack of water to cool down the slick tires would degrade the ride quality.And get ready to jump signals and pay the tickets coz’ if you stop at a red light… you might blow the engine up due to the lack of sufficient airflow around it.And make sure you get a replacement engine for every 5 hours of driving it non stop… but, if you stop at red lights you may need one every 2 hours.Do not expect to return home as the probability of you ending up in an accident is a lot as you can only have the view of the road in front from beneath the SUV’s and Trucks..!!This list could go on and on….If you are rich enough to do all the above and still willing to do it…. hire a physio as the suspension would kill your back making you a cripple in nothing less than a month…!!!If I were you probably settle for a Saleen S7 or a Bugatti Veyron or a Koinigsegg Agera One or a McLaren P1… well, probably anything with 700+ Horsepower and 6 Pistons per calliper brake shoes..!!!Happy Dollars, Peace..!!!
Is it legal to paint my car like a police car?
This applies for the United States:You are welcome to paint your car any way you wish — within limits. You may not use any logos or words that would falsely indicate that you are a law enforcement officer.So you’re welcome to paint it with black nose and tail with white doors (or is it vice-versa?), but you cannot put the word “POLICE” on your car or put a mock sheriff’s star on the door. You can install a light bar on top, but only with amber beacons, no red or blue beacons.I am not a lawyer. The above is not legal advice.
Am I legally allowed to put a company's logo on my car as a sticker?
A2A - U.S. perspectiveLet’s assume that (a) the logo in question is a registered trademark of the company in question, (b) that logo does not apply to automobiles (e.g., the logo is not that of Rolls Royce), and (c) once the logo is on the car, the OP will not take any actions to publicize such usage (such as constantly posting photos of the car, with logo, on social media).If the company wishes to preclude such use of the logo, it likely will need to allege and prove at least one of the following:Infringement of the mark, false advertising, or deceptive trade practices - none of which is the case, because the mark is not being used to identify the OP’s products or services.Dilution - which is not the case, because the OP is not diluting the company’s mark, even if it is famous.Accordingly, assuming that the OP has not entered into an agreement with the relevant company that precludes such use, I see no legal prohibition against such use.
Side exhaust plate - what is it called?
That metal plate is actually a heat shield meant to keep the exhaust pipe from melting the bodywork (in the case of fiberglass bodied racecars) and to keep the exhaust heat from scorching the paint, graphics or decals (if any). The plate could probably be done by any local body shop for maybe $100-300. Usually people use the side exit exhaust because they are running no muffler and are trying to reduce exhaust backpressure and incraese overall engine flow by venting the exhaust in as short a distance as possible. This will make a huge difference in turbo charged cars. Also, a local exhaust shop will be able to make a shorty no cat no muffler exhaust pipe for off-road applications only for a few hundred as well. Be aware though it will be loud (like too loud to talk to other people in the car) hot (it could burn your feet if you brush against the plate with bare ankles and could smell (no muffler or cat) BTW, how bada$$ is the ford GTR?
Skunk2 Alpha TRI-Y Header C.A.R.B Legal?
No, it's not. These are racing-only items according to the manufacturer. They replace the catalytic convertor which is integrated into the exhaust manifold in most Honda/Acura applications. You can research CARB approved replacement parts here: http://www.arb.ca.gov/msprog/aftermkt/de... . Virtually nothing made by Skunk2 Racing is CARB approved. Sorry.
What is a characteristic of an undercover cop car?
There are no characteristics of an "under cover" police car. It could be a Cadillac Escalade all tricked out with spinner wheels, or a fifteen year old Mercury Marquis or a VW Beetle. But, I think you are talking about unmarked police cars, which are used by detectives or patrol officers, not under cover officers. They may have municipal or state government tags, but not all do. Some, if used by patrol officers may have a spot light on the driver's "A" post. In my state, there is really no way to tell, because cars without state or municipal government tags usually have confidential tags, which look like any others. Unmarked cars used by patrol are almost always radio equipped and will have extra radio antennas clearly visible.
