This thing is very likely not capable of running pump gas, and has to be running very rich. The cost per mile, just in fuel, would be insane. Also, good luck passing any sort of emissions controls for road use.

this vehicle has no interior to speak of, and no lighting to see at night (inside or out)

It has no cats, no EGR system, sequential trans etc etc.

To original OP of this question, this is closer to a racing speedboat than a race car. More expensive to own than a yacht assuming you want to run it
