Roll cage necessary? Options

[freestone]

For a 3.2 conversion, to be used almost primarily on the street do you think I need a roll cage? 95% on the street, easily.

I would use this car maybe 5 days on the track though, as I race vintage, but loading up the race car and bringing it to the track etc is such a production and an expensive engine that I skip some lap days when I would bring more of a street car there?

I really don't like the way they look frankly. And I am 6'2" so worry about clearance. Wonder if a helmet would clear?


Is a supplemental roll bar worth it?


And have people gotten in trouble in 914-6's? They sit so low too I worry about the SUV's hitting me. Does anybody think this makes a difference, as getting hit is not exactly the same as rolling, and I wouldn't do the door bars.

And I really care about safety, but the cosmetics of a cage get me down a bit.

Thanks,
