Yah - "I don't plan on wrecking" ranks right up there with "Hold my beer - watch this!". No one plans on wrecking and even if YOU have safe habits it only takes ONE moron to ruin your day and I'm proof positive of that. If I could redo that day I would in so many ways, it's the worst feeling in the world to have something taken and be helpless to stop it.

Even on a closed course stuff happens. There's more than one vid of brake failure, suspension failure, and heck at least one of us has hit a groundhog at HIGH speed at the race track. Heck, the sunroofs coming in on folks at the last Mile event had to be a huge surprise for at least one person. You just never know....

That thread has now included just about everyone, so I would say it is 'whole-assed"...

Not that is matters for you, that GT is 2' tall. BTW, does it have an integrated roll cage?

Are you calling me short? no wait...you were talking about the car I think.



No integrated roll cage but it does have a exception at the Texas Mile so no roll cage needed.

They deemed the car tough enough to withstand a roll over. I bet the firewall behind the seats helped in that decision.

Correction. It is because Chuck Norris builds the Ford GT.
