You probably won't be able to title it in your state without the paperwork that customs gives you at the border, the DMV will flag you and the CBP can seize your vehicle if they feel like it.
There are some schemes people will attempt (e.g. import under the radar then try to use the Vermont loophole to get a title) but not worth it to dodge a 2.5% duty, which is the regular rate outside of the chicken tax. People who have tried and failed often end up with a parts car or end up committing a felony by VIN tampering to get around this. Even people who got the vehicle titled via Vermont loophole have found themselves in hot water when someone makes an insurance claim against them, suddenly your insurance is invalid because your carrier can prove you never legally imported the vehicle. Just pay the duty.
