Wait, I thought Porsche removed the mounting points for the oem cages on USDM cars. Is that not the case anymore?

Yes, weld those back in. We did that on the 997’s as well.

So you can buy the mounting points to weld onto car as well, but need to find someone who knows how to weld to aluminum well. Rough cost of the cage?

I asked to keep me in mind in case I can get an RS I will cage it.
They will have to make and install the plates, like we did with 997RS, I expect a good shop to duplicate the factory plates, welding, mounting etc.
I’m sure it will be a lot more expensive then just putting an aftermarket bar in.
Just like it was expensive to but the original CS bar in the 4.0 with the plates and crap being welded in.

One of the great features of the Weissach is the Titanium cage. I don't think anyone is able to get that even in Europe. Autoquest can get the standard cage but not the Weissach Titanium AFAIK. Rumor is even if able to get it from the supplier they will have to change a few gussets just so it is different enough to the Factory. Anyone heard different?

Weld just the mounting points correct? Assume the Ti bars just bolt to those plates. If anybody needs another buyer to make it worthwhile I'd seriously consider it.

If you like to ad the front part of the cage then the titanium is not the way to go!

The WP is not worth the money, until the moment you sell your car. The rarity will now bring values up.

I don't think the Dodge Demon track pack comes with anything that would necessarily make the car road illegal.

From what I understand it's primarily some tools, skinny front wheels (no tires which given the width of the wheels would not be DOT approved), and a track system that allows the car to use and optimize racing 100 octane fuel. Oh, and a cool Demon duffel bag.
