We do some R&D at my company. Most of our R&D parts go into storage for later analysis or gutting if we need parts. Alot of folks would say "well can I buy one at half price?".
They wouldn't want one. They are usually not very finished. Imagine if you got an SRT and it had holes in the dash where they screwed a computer on while they tested it..and the rims were different finishes, and weren't as strong as the production ones... and it didn't have the bright headlights, etc, etc.
People think "what a waste", but it's really not. They are evolutions of the car leading up to the finished version - many times they are not "SRT's", they are just works in progress which begat the SRT.
