So sweet, I hate that you cant register them... I dont understand why?

Safety issues, maybe???

No airbags, no emissions equipment, can't run on pump fuel, no signals, no wipers, no ABS, parachute blocks the rear plate, no DOT tires, etc, etc. You could somewhat duplicate one of them and attain street legal status, but it wouldn't weigh anywhere near what these weigh. Daren's weighed 3185 with him in it. A stock 2012 Camaro SS is close to 4000lbs.

Wow... and I did not know all that.... so my guess was kinda right, alot of it is safety issues (lack of safety equiptment) plus more things....

[Badbird_96]

Emissions and regulations on sound etc

Edit - nevermind beat me too it

That thing is sick! I don't know that I would ever really want one personally, but that is a bad ride right there, and to think it came like that from the factory.

Well technically it has TONS of safety equipment like a massive rollcage and 5-point harness, but the federal government would disagree, lol.

Here's Daren's aka "GUMP". His is a N/A 427 car. Look at how soft it launches. This car is begging for a 3-speed auto. He will have it on the bumper in no time.
