Street legal car does 0-60 in one second

i dont have audio here at work but i really dont see that as actually street legal. sure all the lights might work but c'mon. its got 15" wide slicks and a parachutte. Thats not even taking the interior or emmisions controls into consideration.
Hell of a fast car and a hell of a nice job building it. Not knocking that at all. That thing is just not a street car.

It may be stiffer but a car is designed to crush in a certain way. That is now altered and not certified with that setup. If you aren't wearing a 5 point race harness and helmet, a cage is far more dangerous to you in a wreck than not having one.

It is possible that some states may actually allow a full cage (not sure if any do) but most do not as far as I know. A street legal car can not have slicks and can not be run on race gas. This car is far from a street car.

that car probably holds the record for the faster usage of a gas tank.

FWIW, the states are the ones that decide what is or isn't street legal in the US. Not the Federal government. There is no provision in the Texas Transportation Code that makes driving in a vehicle equipped with a roll cage illegal. Look it up for yourself - Chapter 547 deals with vehicle equipment.
While I'll agree that driving around in a caged car with no helmet isn't a smart idea, there's a big difference between "bad idea" and illegal.
