The front cage is easy to remove. I will not use it on the street for the reasons you said. I just want it when I buy the car. I will buy a track car as well. I want to buy a cup car for the track. I can see the track car will be the best for the track. Multi use things either copier or a car is not serving any one thing 100%. I really want a racer x car for the street and a car for the track. I understand the options on the car are not pure. I just like it and if I am going to buy then it should make me feel good. FYI I did request today to remove the rod antana from my build, I quess I was in a 80 s flash back or something.

For several years I owned Eurosport in Cincinnati, Ohio, I have spent a lot of time in cars doing stupid street racing over the years. I have some time in 911 and know of what you talk about. This car is weird. Sever of the people on this thing think I have EGO+NEWDRIVER+KNOWITALL=
.I am in no hurry. I am not so young I know everything. I have sold all of my other toys with out my Harley Deluxe, and want to move into a hobby that I can learn and grow with. I know not much so look at how much I have to learn. I really learn a lot from you all.

Soon we'll be able to put enough sense into you to drop the idea of front cage. In any case, after scratching the alcantera a couple of times while taking the front legs out, you'll soon drop the idea and will leave it in the garage next to your hoosier slicks!!

I have worked hard to be able to write a check for this car and to get myself in a place with my family, that makes this not a selfish thing but rather a earned thing. So, I may never use the front bolt in cage and it might hang next the Hoosiers and I might in late January some year when outside is 15 feet of snow put on my Hoosiers and my front cage and sit in the garage watching car racing on tv thought my windshield and have fun because I can. So I know, and I know.

The big mystery is, no mystery. I am very bad at first impressions, so in my business I hire people to communicate for me. I talk to the my people. I hope to have fun with my car to build community.
