Feel Free to correct me if i am wrong!

And actually, the R33 is the one that has all the DOT testing done. The R32 and R34 can't come here.

Not that any of them can right now...

Yep, because a few companies tried to pass the R34 using the R33 DOT testing and the Feds found out and shut it down. A bunch of people lost what they thought was a US street legal R34, crushed and destroyed.

i love how the feds overreact and crush some of the most valued cars of all time on a whim just to go "hey guys f*ck you".

i can understand when they crush rice rockets and sh*t, but the r34??? wtf.

Because they are a bunch of a$$hats and think some 15 year old laws mean sh!t today.
Really? Just let the damn car into the country, and charge a 10% fee or something.

It's not like it's more dangerous than any other collector car. And the people who owned the cars obviously spent time to bring it in and make it 'legal', at least they thought they did. There should've been an option to just pay a fine and be done with it.
