I've said before that it's an extremely niche product. Basically made for guys who are willing to tear apart their new $90k car to add the necessary roll cage and other safety components for drag racing and essentially turn it into a track-only car.

The disconnect is that most of the people who buy it are just going to use its 840 horses on the street and probably not always responsibly. I don't think that's reason enough to prohibit its sale as a street car, but I can see the rationale especially if a relatively high percentage of these are involved in driver-induced wrecks that endanger or injure other people. The insurance rate on these will be astronomical.
