Roll Bar versus Full Cage

Gang,
OK -- I'm the one who started this thread.
Ignoring the likelihood of a crash, IF YOU GET INTO A CRASH, how much worse are you in a Roll-bar protected car than in a full-cage car? That is really what I was asking.
And while I didn't address street versus track dangers, I'm focusing on the track.
Further, I suspect that the issue is rollover protection: Does the A-frame (windshield) frame hold up or does it crumble in a roll-over situation, ie the rollbar case?
TIA,
Fred

a roll bar will most definitly help. and a roll cage even more so.
i would be happy with just a roll bar, however im required a full cage for my form of competition.
(and im probably better off)
i compromised. Porsche sells a full club sport cage that bolts in. (you can unbolt the front section when not in use) 996 and 997 have their variants. totally clean, factory and functional.
