Of course a cage does look good in front of the A&W......
So, I guess I reject your notion! |
And I think you and everyone else will agree that as a Road ONLY car, the GT40 replica is far less comfortable than a Crown Victoria or even a Mustang.. That given, the GT40 Replica built for Road ONLY is a compromise at best in terms of practicality and safety.
So while you can say that you reject my notion here on this thread - I bring forth no notions whatsoever - just facts. And I am also conveying what I am doing and recommend that others do to address some safety concerns..
FACT: These cars (all of them) need better rollover protection.
One of the reasons RCR's cars stood out from the others was the fact that they come with a Chromoly 1.5" Roll-bar structure and also have optional roll cages that can be factory built and installed.
Still - Whether the car is in competition or on the street - They can all benefit from the addition of a Roll-bar, if not a Roll-Cage - AND - they will all need to be padded wherever it's possible for human extremities to come in contact with it. I recommend and use the SFI or FIA approved padding because they are tested to a standard. None of the other padding is.
