Default considering a strosek hardtop for my car (need advice)

hi,

i'm considering a strosek hardtop for my car. the strosek top is made out fiberglass. The only problem is that i'm nervous about having a fiberglass top on the track. Can anyone provide reasons of why i should or should not be nervous about this solution?

Cheers,
Boris

As long as you keep a good rollbar and preferably a cage. I dont think the fiberglass will do much to protect you in case of a rollover...

Danny,

I agree - more of the question in my mind is can it hurt me in a roll over?

Good question. Strosek is a pretty serious tuner, maybe you should ask for related data from them?
I must assume the top is TUV certified and they have very strict standards over there.

TUV I believe is a product safety and product quality assurance testing firm in Germany. TUV certification is highly regarded and most tuners certify their products to prove that they meet the highest quality and safety standards.
