That would be incorrect sir. The correct answer is clearly $600 enclosed lug nuts.

The porsche club would claim that it's a racing seat and 6 point harness, even without hans or roll bar.
Anyone else have thoughts on what the best safety upgrade on the market is?

Hans for sure but depends on tracks you run and how flat out you run

For my 2 cents the best safety upgrade available is experience.
2nd to that is a combination of cage, seat, restraints, hans and fire protection.

Clear bra! It provides vital impact protection and load distribution when crashing into a tire barrier, wall or another race car.
Plus it keeps the waxer finish looking good for the post race crash interview.

You can have my cage, harness and HANS but nobody is taking away my brake pedal!

Yes, nice suggestion, but not quite #1. The
best safety mod for our cars would have to be $6,000 unobtanium lug nuts. Just think, once you buy them your annual track budget will be shot and you'll be safely at home watching the Speed Channel
. Just don't choke on a pretzel or something...

Roll cage bar and many many drivers / race schools are the best safety upgrades

Not as important as the Titanium tire stem caps. Of course they must have extended threads.
