I remember reading something in the wall street about the Z1 being legal in the US. It was some law that passed for very rare exotics and only 5 cars are on the list Jaguar XJ220, Porsche 959, BMW Z1, McLaren F-1, Bugatti EB110 and Peugeot 205 Turbo 16... The law is show and display and the cars are limited to 2500 miles a year

Bill gates was pushing this bill through congress because he had his 959 sitting overseas just not being able to be used...From what I remember the cars can be brought to the US and do not have to go through any type of EPA/Dot testing but that list is limited to 5 cars so far... Fromwhat I remember reading

The Z1 is definately an intresting creation to come out of BMW
