89911,

I NEVER ONCE said Autopower rollbars are cheap. NOT ONCE. What I did say is that custom fabrication is a reasonable alternative.

I feel it is important for others to realize that there are other alternatives other than pre-fabricated roll bars (or cages). Custom fabrication is one of them.

I believe that any race car is a "real race car" by virtue of the fact that you can crash it or roll it and do bodily injury to the occupants. Whether you do a single DE a year in your street car or you get paid a salary to race, you are at a very high risk of crashing and the safety system (roll bar or cage included) are a very important part of keeping you safe and alive.

The reference to professional racers was just to suggest that people who do this for a living most likely do not choose custom fabrication because it is a substandard choice.

If you want to continue this drop me an e-mail (csprigg@hotmail.com) and we can hash it out privately through e-mail - or the phone instead of wasting bandwidth here.

Cheers,
Charlie

PS. I am having a custom fabricated, removable roll cage installed in my 911 by a professional rally car cage builder for less money than an Autopower rollbar.
