It has to do with the exhaust exiting before the front door.

I am sorry guys. When I drove the SLR in PA (outside of Philadelphia) I accidently ran a stop sign while "hollering at some *****es." Long story short, I got pulled over and they banned SLR cruising in PA from then on. Again, my appologies.

Possible to register a car in another state but operate it in PA, MD, MO, etc. Several owners had multiple residences and registered them at their out-of-state residence. Also possible to operate it on a dealer tag, from what I know.
