Road legal means that the rules allow it to be driven on to normal roads, doesn't mean that you would want to take it onto normal roads. Thats why supercars aren't a wise choice of cars in Malaysia, most of them gets bought and transported on the back of lorries to Sepang. From what i heard, if you install a roll cage into your car in Malaysia, your car is no longer road legal. Not sure if that is true. its the first road legal car to reach 1000bhp per ton.
