the "killer b's" got outlawed because they were just too damn fast. it was basically outlaw racing. as long as you coudl squint and still see the silhouette of the production car it was "based" on it was legal.
the cars were too fast for the courses, roads, and safety equipment of the day. many argue that they wouldn't even be safe on a closed course with modern safety equipment. to give you an idea of what they were putting to the ground, the porsche effort used the same 1000+rwhp powerplant that was put in their IMSA prototype that carried jackie stewart to a championship.
they were crazy fast and killed many drivers, co-drivers, and even spectators.
