Did you guys know if you can change the registration on your vehicle to a weight over 8000lbs. and you only have to pass safety inspection. I was talking with the guy at the local speed parts shop who built a 99 S10 with a carbed bigblock set up for the track, but he wanted to drive on on the road too. He went to the dmv asked to change the registration to show the truck weighs 8000lbs (curb or GVW I am not sure) and it only had to pass saftey inspection, like a dump truck or something like that. ---

I think if a civic weighted 8000 lbs it might throw a red flag at the DMV :lol But yes I have heard of that before. ---

It might be hard to explain to DVM that your honda civic has rockwells for axles. lol ---
