89911,

I do not tend to agree with that line of reasoning - it is much like saying "I'd rather have a Ford Taurus than a Porsche 911 because they build more of them, therefore they must be really good. I see a lot more of them on the road too so that proves they're better".



Honestly, how many real race cars have you seen with an Autopower or Kirkey cages? Probably not many. A few weekend warrior types possibly, but my experience is that the professionals tend to have custom fabricated cages.

Even me, with a cheap VW rally car had a cage that cost half as mush as the car. I *personally* would not skimp on safety. I've seen the world from upside down in a car and I'll tell you a well built roll cage or bar is worth a lot.

To clarify there is noting wrong with a well built, custom fabricated cage or roll bar. My belief is that you can get one hand built for not a whole lot more money than the mail order mass produced units.

I understand that lots of people may disagree, this is just my opinion.
