YACT: Why is the McLaren F1 illegal in the US?

its just the seating position.. you cant have it sold in teh US with the 3 seating layout.. but you can as a single seater..

In general:

-crashworthiness
-safety features
-emissions

etc etc etc.
 
The McLaren F1 is street legal here in the US last time I checked...it might have changed, i don't know. I remember John Carmack trying to decide whether he should get the F1 or the Ferrari F50. He ultimately chose the F50...I've actually seen him drive it around a few years back. Sweet car.

Carmack spent millions on Ferrari's until he decided to go into aerospace engineering and rockets. Now hes spending millions on Armadillio Aerospace.
