Am I screwed?
My damn 87 TPI failed the hell out of its emissions test, its classified as a GROSS POLLUTER (stupid clean air laws)
My HC (PPM) = 566 @ 25MPH MAX=95
= 402 @ 15MPH MAX=70
CO (%) = 10.72@ 25 MPH MAX=0.65
= 9.04@ 15 MPH MAX=0.52
ANY SUGGESTIONS??

What state are you in? If you are in California and this is your regular bi-annual smog check at a test only site. California has a Consumer Assistance Program from the Bureau of Automotive Repair that will pay for up to $500 in repairs to make your car pass smog. There are two ways to qualify, one is income (very few vette owners will likely qualify), the other is if you are required to have a smog check at a test only station and you fail, no imcome requirements. If you qualify based on income, you'll have to pay for the first $20 in repairs, if not, you have to pay for the first $100 in repairs.
Good Luck!

it's all just so silly anyway. the gov't could care less about air pollution. just a way to make $25-$40 bucks on us and slapping a sticker on it.
i know the tree hugger will disagree, but, i mean, we'll be out of oil anyway in 50-60 yrs.
i believe it could be your cat converters... bummer, don't think that's cheap.
