Mr. NQ, time to take your own advice!
Just to recap, FMVSS 108 sets a standard, traceable to the NHTSB. Compliance is required for vehicles to be allowed to operate on public roads. Compliance is granted by inspection by accredited facilities. Exceptional performance is not a substitute for compliance.
If you care to disagree, please take it up with the NHTSB, I'm sure they will gladly hand you your buttocks.
