Yes for track cars I agree. For street cars they are down right dangerous unless you are wearing a helmet everyday.

I agree with you for a full cage, but for a car with no back seats anyway, I think the half cage is relatively safe......and still cool.

Congrats, beautiful car! I remember bringing mine home when it was stock, and I still had money in the bank. Be afraid of modding, be very afraid! Good luck

PS Mod the hell out of it...

I love those wheels I have some HRE's myself on my Turbo and they make great wheels.

Now you need some more power!

Beautiful car! Is the roll bar sitting pretty far back behind the front seats? I had a roll bar in a Miata that I use to own and track. To help with street use, I installed some high quality padding around any part of the roll bar that was close to the driver/passenger seats (which, for the Miata, was pretty much most of the bar).
