If it sells, it's not ridiculous.
FCA seems to be getting away with their Hellcat shinanagans so I don't see why not. Surely there are ways to get it past the regulations if enough money can be made.

So, agian, why would Ford jump to this gas-guzzling 7.3L that makes less power than the 5.0L? the appeal of the redline being 1500rpm lower? Not giving themselves a chance to pass pedestrian safety regs?

Bigger displacement doesn't necessarily mean more fuel used, we went over this like 10 thousand times.
Is Mustang GT 5.0 particularly better on fuel than a Camaro 6.2?
And this isn't a sports car. Why does weight distribution and high redline even matter?
