Good point, but most track clubs (NASA, Greenflag, Trackmasters) do not require rollbars in fixed roof cars for the stock or "slow" groups. They are only manditory in purpose built racecars and all convertibles. Actually those late-model 911's have a built-in roll structure (notice how only the front part collapsed), but it still ruined that car!

try some opposite lock and get back on the gas. Sure way to spin a 911 is let off the gas and don't get back on it. All that weight in the rear.....

Ouch...

Wonder how a vette would look from the inside... makes me wonder about a "Cage" not just a roll bar!
