Banned by the NRHA for safety reasons
If you go over a certain speed you need a certain spec roll cage. May just be that.
I can't go on the goodwood track in the TransAm due to noise limit.
Odd why things are legal on the road but not on the track.

The NHRA disallow it as it's faster than their regulations allow without a cage. Plenty of tracks are non NHRA though!

Use the black key, use low octane fuel or just race 1/8 mile tracks!

You may not be legal! I think the limit is 100db or something. It's measured about 24" inches from the tailpipe at a 45 deg angle, at the same height as the tailpipe and at 50% max rpm.
Might be an interesting experiment with a free smartphone app!

The Exorcist!
Hennessey Performance is more than ready for a brutal dogfight with Dodge’s one-seater special show pony — they are taking the ZL1’s 650 horsepower 6.2L, and giving it a makeover. The upgrades are expected to include a larger Hennessey Performance blower, ported heads, headers, and custom induction to reach 1,000 horsepower and 966 lbs.-ft. of torque.
Backing the powertrain will be a six-speed manual transmission, or 10-speed automatic to carry the power to the wheels. The Exorcist will race to 60 miles per hour in under three seconds, and cover the 1/4-mile in less than 10-seconds.
Price wise, the Hennessey Performance upgrades are going to exorcise quite a bit of money from your checking account with an added $55,000 cost on top of the $63,435 ZL1 sticker.

That's the one I was thinking of. Would be nice to have that package in the TransAm style camaro.

But, Hennessy is aftermarket. I wonder how long before both GM and Ford catch up and offer something to equal from the factory?

“So why isn't Dodge itself offering a roll cage straight from the factory? There are a number of reasons, including development time, crash-testing costs and potentially greater legal liability as an OEM. Tim Kuniskis, head of Fiat Chrysler's Passenger Car Brands today, said: "As a manufacturer, we will never offer a roll cage. And any roll cage that goes into a car has to be inspected and certified by the NHRA. That is really the sticking point on the quote "ban."

The guy is hardly mechanically sympathetic. But could easily be a blown exhaust gasket but without seeing the oil pressure impossible to know/

video link not working?
I guess the owner must have taken it down. It was a chap basically ragging the car on the motorway, didn't hit the rev limit, after a while it may a loud tapping noise.
