Useless?
EPA has been the single biggest contributor to making cars that we drool over today.
You want a 707hp V8 car that comes with a warranty and can pull low 20's MPG from the factory?
Twin turbo charged performance trucks?
Electric cars that go 0-60 faster than a twin turbo Ferrari?
Thank the EPA.
Cars are cleaner, safer, and make more power than anything that came from the 60s with a better warranty and way more reliable.
The rules are the rules. No one paid attention to them before, what's going to stop you from breaking the law moving forward? Nothing.
The multi-billion dollar aftermarket industry will continue to move forward, selling whatever people want to buy. OEs have invested billions in performance vehicles and their own aftermarket parts as well, so you think that something like this is going to slow down that gravy train?
This is akin to someone saying that some politician is coming to take your guns, so sales (and price) of guns and ammo skyrocket.
SEMA is taking a page out of the NRA's book.
