Nice looking seat belts...so...your head is the roll bar ...what a way to die !

Isn't that the way it is for 95% of the replica speedsters/spyders on the road today?

Those little helmet fairings, unless they're re-enforced with a steel roll bar and are higher than the drivers head, would be of no value in a roll-over.

James Dean didn't need no stinkin rollbar why should anyone else? If anyone thinks a rollbar and/or a helmet fairing is going to do anything for you you're talking crazy talk. If your 550 flips over the windshield is going to break. Draw a line from where the cockpit starts to the top of the rollbar and see how little space you have. So unless you've got superpowers that will make it so your helmet fits in the ridiculously small space up tight against the fairing and under the rollbar your helmet is going to impact the ground and get dragged for some distance breaking your neck.  I don't think you're walking home from that crash.

I love the 914 gauges. If I were building again, I'd put them in.

The FAT Performance mill is all I dream about.

ReV: did Alex beat you up in Jr High? I'm not sure what the issue is with him, but your comments here make it seem that perhaps this isn't really about a rollbar. About 99% of us don't have them, and the rest of us are deluding ourselves. Crawl under the dash and tax a look at how the windshield attaches. It's pretty humorous.

It's a nice car, and really expensive. I'm the guy who thinks a rising tide floats all the little boats, so any time somebody asks for a big 'ol pile of Benjamens it makes me happy.
