Well, first off, racing is very much illegal in the first place. But, I can almost 100% guarantee you that in Illinois, the car would get impounded for RACING...not for having an illegal motor. I doubt they'd even pop the hood. But, I've never actually had this happen...I'm just making an educated guess. If you're this worried about it, the SR is *not* for you. On top of that, you're a street racer (prepares to bitch slap).

Moral: you shouldn't get an SR.
