no, they only have to pass when they first come out, according to the standards of the day. they dont have to re-take the test every year. and the gov't adds new heavy safey crap every year...so the vette has the safety standards for 2005. the E92 most likely goes above and beyond those standards which were for 2007 when it was launched.

they are two completely different cars anyways....designed for different purposes...the E92 is a jack of all trades....the vette is a focused sports car...it doesnt have to share its chasis with a 2L diesel economy/sport/lux sedan.
