To avoid Finland’s tax a 1,000HP imported Hennessey RAM is limited to 55MPH

The truck costs $150,000 to start. What is the use case of spending that much on a truck but not spending the extra $66k tax to unlock its full power? A car collector who wants to own it, but never use it, and wants to save a buck?

If you just like the look of the truck, you could buy a RAM 3500 and install the liftkit and bumper yourself for less than half the price.

This is clickbait. The article takes some technically possible bizarre situation and presents it as though this is something that happens regularly.

I suspect the speed limiter isn’t exactly soldered in place if you get me

Additional saving is yearly tax, but even then 654€ compared to 76€ isn't that much...

May be more interested in the power than top speed. It's a very comfortable tractor.

because the speed limiter will just be removed aftermarket by the buyer, so I'm sure people are actually doing this

It's news because somebody is actually doing this.
