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.
This alone will restrict how many ever see the street. I bet 25% of the first release get garaged/stored and never see pavement anyway.
