except in alaska where it is a crime to own one since you can drive it cause of all the snow.....
Lol....Well it turns out M5 is wrong..Because the McLaren F1 deoes NOT comply with US Emissions....Even though Florida as a state has no emissions policy as a country it is not legal to bring into the united states, even through florida....Same goes for most of the other GOOD CARS...damn United states and their automobile lawz
It's legal to own..Not legal to drive..let's put it that way

ever heard about that guy in malaysia who bought a porsche GT1 but couldn't drive it cause it was illegal. you aren't allowed to drive LHD cars there, or something. so he parked it in his office and there it sits!

So a dollar-millionaire wouldn't cut it then, Ps2racer. The stock McLaren F1 cost £625,000. If they have to jack the price up, then you won't have enough
I think a million would probably do it now that the car's six years old. Then again, the value could've actually appreciated.

Is the Mercedes CLK-GTR also street legal?

Yep - as all 627hp 240mph supercars are...
"Street Legal" is a tricky term. To qualify for any of Guinness's "Street Legal" records, the car must be legal to drive on the road, without any modifications, in the country of origin. The manufacturer will probably try to make it street legal in the country for which the market is largest as well.
The CLK-GTR is a race car, and so not street legal. The CLK-GTR LM - the road derivative, with a revised integral rear wing - IS street legal in Germany and the UK at least.
The McLaren F1 is street legal in the UK. If you were to directly import one into the US from a UK owner, I doubt it would be legal to drive. However, the US-sourced cars are obviously street legal, or else they wouldn't be sold... The DMV would suddenly turn up the next day...

hey M5 are you from AZ too? cuz both me an shinez are .... I head that someone once tested a Mclaren in AZ in the middle of summer and it kept overheating or something....not sure if it was true or not...
I always thought that the Mclaren did meet emissions....If not the US sucks because that means both Mclarens and skylines dont meet emissions and have to be modified.....maybee I should move...One good thing tho....I live in AZ...mostly desert...so I just wouldnt register the damn thing and drive it all day in the desert...then when I need to go back to civilization....I can buy a civic....that should help me save money for gas on the Mclaren....
