Roll Cage in a Dual Purpose Car

[930LDR]

Is this an absolute No No? Has anyone come up with any kind of alternative to a simple roll bar that will allow for some A-Pillar protection without being a serious risk to head injury in a car that is driven on the street on the weekends?

Thanks

Look at Jack Olsen's Car.

This has beed discussed extensively on the track forum.

Some say it's an absolute no-no without a helmet. I've driven my 944 race car on the street plenty of times. While it's true that the roll cage I installed to protect myself could possibly kill me, I think that driving with a cage, one-piece racing seat, five-point harness, yada yada is much safer than riding a motorcycle.

Look at Jeep Wranglers. They come from the factory with a cage, including the nicknamed "headache" bars.

I'm thinking of a roll bar in the 911. It's only used for autocrossing, and an occasional DE. No need for a full cage.
