Both.

Adding a roll cage to a car does NOT make it illegal for street use. Where did you get that idea?


I hate cars that can't turn and are too heavy, but this car is fucking awesome. No holds barred badassery.

Well first we would have to define "street legal". Technically once you remove a cat, it's no longer street legal. But to answer your question, one would get likes on social media.

The Dodge fine print reads: Based on 1/4 mile time. Excludes non-mass production vehicles (i.e low volume and "coach builders") and hybrids.

It's illegal to use a harness and helmet on the street. Unless you're planning to drive your caged car without those things (you'd be an idiot), your car can't be driven on the street legally.

If you properly pad your roll cage it's fine. And if you buy a DOT approved harness, then yes it's legal on the street.

Foam isn't enough to save your head from a massive concussion. If there's a cage, you should have a helmet. Not to mention you'd have issues with insurance coverage if you were to get in an accident/suffer injuries on the street in a caged car.

Like the video says, those are pony cars. They aren't competing.

This is a muscle car. At 9.65 sec quarter mile the car is faster than liter bikes. The ZX14R ran mid 9's stock. This is insane speeds for a production car at any price, let alone this price.

Like someone else said, I've never been much for American muscle cars but these cars are getting impressive. The Mustang GT350 and this Camero ZL1 are awesome:

Like a eunuch with a big d!ck- show it off to eunuchs with smaller ones. Then put it away until next time.
