Emission requiremnts
Several states have the same emission requirements and my state of Washington is the same as California. If one could chose how stringent the emission requirement would be as for power, mpg and smoothness, what would the best states be? Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Are you talking about all things being equal with the Corvette as it is from the factory or are you talking about modifying the car?

What I am doing is ordering a new 2013 and would like to get the best bang for the buck as far as emissions goes. Not that I am a tree hugger but would like my fuel to turn the wheels not save the frogs.

Order what you want and even for Washington state, you will enjoy it.

Thank you all for the input on my emission question
I admit the NE1 and FE9 stuff had me confused but I will not worry about it. Thanks for the help on this one, the forum works. Bob H

Emissions
Your best bet would be to order the car with the California Emissions sticker. That way, you will increase your available market when it comes time to resell it...since all California buyers could buy the car. I believe the cars are identical except for that pesky sticker.
