No way could FCA put an NHRA cert cage in that car and still meet NHTSA safety standards.
NHRA and NHTSA are two different worlds. A cage would interfere with air bags, HIC, SIC, crash crumple zones....
A cage is designed for someone in a helmet, in a 5/6 pt harness....
The COPO gets an 8.50 cert cage as it doesn't have to meet any of the NHTSA safety standards.
I doubt any vendor, at least ones with wise lawyers, would touch putting a cage in a Demon with a 10 ft pole. Maybe if it's being gutted and turned into a race car, sure, here's an awesome cage. As a street car with all that NHTSA safety crap in there... no way. Someone get's Tboned on the street and cracks their un-helmeted head on a rollcage... their estate now owns that company.
