Default Passenger Side Roll Hoop
I've signed up for an HPDE with the understanding I would have to have a passenger side roll hoop. After looking at a few pics of cars with dual hoops and seeing the video of the Cobra at VIR flipping, I figured it wasn't such a bad idea. But, after looking at more pics and talking to some other owners and enthusiasts, I'm not so sure I want to do it. It seems there are quite a few people that think the second hoop ruins the looks and marketability of the car should you wish to sell it. The second hoop is required by the driving school to protect the instructor. Eventually, there would be no need for the second roll bar due to the fact the instructor would not be riding with me anymore. What are your thoughts on Cobras with dual hoops?
