only flaw to this thought is that there have been more FS titles in non-1LE
cars than the titles taken in 1LE cars ...doh!

that's a crazy number. There were less than 3000 1997 & 1998 Nissan 240SX's
made. Should they be illegal? Granted they are uglier and heavier than the
95-96 version, but there were scarcely more than 3k made in 1996.
There were less than 1k of the 1LE's made per year in all years of
manufacture (an OPTION to the existing MODEL) same for the Z07 OPTION on
the 91-95 Corvettes, triple ditto on the "R" package of the 93-? RX7. Hell,
I don't even think they made 3k of those in the 94-95 model years, let
alone R1 or R2 models.
I can't see where an OPTION, if avail, should be regulated. Now the *model*
... subject for debate as we can plainly see (read)?
