    According to testing by Motor Trend in 2005, the Venom failed California emissions testing due to excess carbon monoxide, but is legal in the other 49 states. However, the car was tuned for a standing mile race on a closed circuit, and Motor Trend surprised Hennessey with this emissions test, and the car only failed by a very small threshold, which could have easily been remedied with a less aggressive tune.
