Default Convertible Windscreen Frame

Could you tell me Tadge, does the convertible C7 windscreen frame provide adequate roll protection. Can it be deem adequate to a race establishments. I saw on the J Leno garage addition where he declared it to be as strong as a roll bar if you flip the car. Thanks for your answer in advance.

I would also like to know if the C7 Vert
is in the same class as Ferrari spyders from the 360 up to the 458 which are considered to have adequate rollover protection for HPDE track events, if not all out racing.
