Sorry to say Gino, you are not going to like what I have to say here. So here I go. In CT, if you are bringing an out of state car (replicas and composites only), unfortunately they will not recognize your out of state previous registration and safety inspection. This is only for composites. If it was a regular vehicle, only a VIN verification would be required.
You are going to have to transport it on a flatbed to Wethersfield, CT and go through their 200 point new composite vehicle inspection. Then, they are going to issue you a brand new CT VIN number and sticker for your car. Last I heard, they will make you register it as a 2008 composite vehicle. How that plays out in taxes and other things I don't know. If you go to the Clubcobra site, you will find a whole thread devoted to this. I researched this at length before I bought my car and at that point decided it would be best to buy a cobra already registered in CT (which is what I ended up doing). I walked into MVD and walked out a half an hour later with plates in my hand. No VIN verification, no inspection, no problems.
As far as CT locations go, I live in Southbury (that is about 45 minutes from East Hartford). I don't know where you are going to work or what is important to you as far as location, but Southbury has reasonable taxes, better than most areas in CT and has an excellent school system and low crime.
Best of luck!
