Very cool car, but FCA goes to all the trouble to hype this thing up and post the performance at the track, and the car as sold isn't legal to run those times.

This makes me think their target audience is rich car collectors who will never get within a mile of a track's burnout box, rich guys who will be adding it to their expensive toy collection (and probably be the first ones to total them before the guys even make it to their garages), and... rich drug dealers who will flog them to death on the street before they have to report to their next quarterly parole officer meeting.

But I could be wrong.


I bet the legalities of selling a car with a roll cage is something that prevented this from happening. Even in a low speed crash, on the street, your head hits that roll bar and serious injury can occur. It's a liability.
