The new fuel cell option isn't a factory-installed option????? Why the hell not???

And if a roll cage "may be available as an option" why can't Hi-Tech make it to satisfy SCCA and FIA rules??? (At least for under SCCA purveyance, where they're probably going to sell the vast majority of their cars.)

Bill: Nice job. Does your installation meet (not to belabor the issue) SCCA spec's?

If you are going to drive aggresively, IMO a roll cage would be a wise addition. Walt Hangsen was killed at the Le Mans trials in 1966 in a Mark II he flipped. There isn't nearly the structural integrity in the stock design to protect you in such an incident.
