...and will remain a dream, for two main reasons.
1. Lack of vision.
2. America won't cooperate. Making the ATS and Mustang, DTM ready, would be a piece of cake for giants like GM and Ford, but they are lazy, American people wouldn't watch it, and they are better off making a new, Texas inspired, special edition trucks, filled with lumps of chrome.

F1 operates without an American manufacturer.

I had this idea too, as well as other people probably. Combine NASCAR, V8 SuperCars, DTM, and Super GT.

F1 has the success it has in America, mostly because of its fame and history, but it could have a lot more with a US manufacturer involved.
However, World DTM doesn't have that fame or history, so that's why it needs a local brand. I do think that if SuperGT or DTM would cross the ocean, for a special American round, would have some fans at the track, but not enough to justify the creation of a World Series.

Regulations are so different between every series that it just wouldn't work the way you think it would.

I know regulation changes would have to be put in place. It would be funny though to see a NASCAR and a DTM car race on the same track though.
