The NHRA safety requirements kill any thought of just having fun with a street car. So do I take a perfect car and gut it? Decisions decisions!.
Welcome to the 21 century for sure. Not like buying a 1970 Hemi Challenger in 1970-72. Race it and either drive it or toe-bar it home.
Been waiting all year for my 440 engine for my 69 GTS Dart. The above is what happens when I sit around waiting.

You can have fun with that car ! NHRA allows a Hellcat to run 10's without a roll bar . What other safety items do you think you need ?
