Default Does U.S GT3RS Come with Rolbar?

Guys, does the U.S. based GT3RS come with the Rollbar as standard equipment? It's not clear to me...thanks.

From what I know, no. It does in Europe, but now, due to new US safety regulations or something like that, it does not in the US. Just like the ClubSport option is not avaliavle for the US 2010 GT3. Maybe someone else can confirm this? With he RS maybe different though...
I'd be kinda silly to have an RS without a rollcage now, since its always had it before.

Huh? No U.S. RS has ever had a roll cage, to my knowledge...

I said that because all the 997.1 RS' I've seen have one, so I assumed they came like that. I guess they were all aftermarket then. I have a non RS 10GT3 ordered, its my first Porsche, so Im not too familiar with this US factory option thing

Can't they just include it with the car in a separate box. I had a M3 Lightweight which came with a few motorsport parts to be installed by the owner, and that was back in 1995.

Yeah, just have your dealer order it.

Wonder if the plastic rear window will make it this time?

Definitely not in the 997.1 RS (and as far as I know that's the first and only RS sold in the US.)

There's a bar for sale here:

Or go with a cro-mo bar from DAS.

Or find a local fabricator with a 100% reputation with local racers.
