CAMARO6 - View Single Post - Register flexfuel (E85) converstion with the state?

Hi!

This might be an unusual question.

I'm looking into getting a ZL1 with 1LE option and have it exportet to Europe.
GM has sadly stopped selling the Camaro over here and according to a Chevrolet dealer the Camaro will start selling in Europe again after some kind of electrification.

What that means I do not know, full on EV or Hybrid. (or just a bad rumor?)

Since I really enjoy nice V8 I thought I'd get a 2022 ZL1 1LE.

And now for a slight problem, over here they want about 3000$ a year for the first three years(road tax) if it runs on normal fuel only BUT if I can get it registered as Flexfuel (E85) it'll be around 350$ a year instead in road tax.

The dilemma is that I can't get it registered as flexfuel over here due to a law that states basically that a car manufacturer certificate only certificates the car as is so any modifications on newer cars is near impossible.

Why I posted in this channel is that there is a transport carrier in Delaware and since I know every state basically has their own laws I thought this might be a good start.

So the question is simply can I somehow get a new or newish ZL1 1LE registered as FlexFuel in the official papers in the US? (by a third party or better yet a dealer)

Thanks in advance!
