Thanks for the great detail.
Because of the cost from Porsche will probably go Cantrell ...

Where do we get the roll bar and seat belts with all mounting stuff in Europe for euro deliver?

Here's a link from Carnewal for the cage:

€3795

and here for the fire extinguisher:

€275

Adds up and I don't know if international shipping is included or separate (I guess it's extra). Schroth harnesses also available. One would have to consider the cost of having a plate put in to mount the bar, but it is factory.

US GOV says no roll bar cause it may kill you but owners put them on for the safety? What am I missing here?

TRAKCAR

You assume govt is logical and or reasonable.

Spyerx

Yep.

Jenner does have a black grey 997.2, seen him in it a few times, never seen him at track but he does drive it proper.

Helmets....?

silverrules

Be nice to see the data on roll bars and why they are against it.

Mike in CA

Agree. Info must be available somewhere. My bet is that it has something to do with crash testing requirements plus the possible effects of a roll bar on un-helmeted occupants but I'm just guessing.

I think it said something about unbelted passenger safety! If you are wearing a seatbelt it would be unlikely to bang your head in the roll bar in case of accident! Not sure why Lexan windows are banned?

According to VW Vortex Porsche announced there will be 2 unveilings at Geneva with one of them being the GT4 . That should pretty much seal the deal . There is going to be a live streaming in English and German of the press conference .

I can't remember where I read it many years ago, but the issue was discussing how unsafe roll cages are without the use of a helmet. A simple roll bar that sits behind the headrest, seems perfectly safe, but DOT, probably just lumped all cage types together.

No idea! but I will be sitting bleary-eyed at my screen at 05:30 on the 3rd. After reading thousands of postings and multiple articles I am still none the wiser if I will get one!.
