There are already laws in place to discourage people from defeating emissions equipment. I have had friends fork out heavy fines for getting caught driving illegally modified cars in California. But like you said...they "will step up and accept it like a man." It is one thing to have fines vs just completely shutting down the industry...making building track or race cars illegal.
What if the EPA decided every street car needed a computer chip that didn't let you exceed the speed limit at all, not 1mph. Would you feel that to be alright, all in the name of clean air and less tail pipe emissions? Essentially shutting down the sports car market completely.
