Passed today, almost exactly tne same as the previpus NA measurements : CO2 at 14.7 , O2 at 0.0 , HC at 17 , CO at 0.02 , NO at 29at ( 15mph ) and 162 ( 25 mph ). But talk about a friggin test at these " star " stations - 30 min of every imaginable testing and probing and retesting ( alien abduction anal probes are probably less invasive ) , some new EVAP test I haven't seen before, and just a long half hour of checking every component on the new CARB checklist that is alsmost double of what it was a couple of years ago. Side note, the new guy that took over the station where I usually take my cars for the smog tests was very familiar with the 968 - took me completely by surprise - guessing he is in his late 20s or so, and never owned one,or any Porsche for that matter but knew the approx production numbers sold here, the existence of the euro CS models , the M030 options, etc. Funny, he immediately said : -" I see you have a certification sticker for the SC, good thing you do ' cause otherwise I'd have to call the State and get authorization to test this and they're not there on weekends so I could not have done it today "
