Interesting discussion on safety. I also have car a car being built right now. But it will have a full width roll bar that is higher than the top of my head, and seats with seat backs that go up to and including head support. I am probably in the minority, but those little boat seats that shelby started using in 1962, the ones that only come up to the middle of your back, just creep me out. To each his own, but I pull no punches when it comes to safety.
You've got all the bases covered, David. I am taking the risk of choosing the street car look at the expense of safety. I'll have well under 300hp, but that's still enough to get the car upside-down if I get crazy. I'm planning on enjoying brisk accelleration in a straight line, but that's it. No triple-digit velocities or high-speed manouvers. My prime worry is having no neck protection in a low-speed collision. With nothing protecting my head, I won't be able to forget to be careful.
