Why can't the US market get a cage and the CGT seats? Why is MORE safety gear unacceptable?

BTW, I dig the black with orange. I think it looks tough, but wouldn't want it for the same reason I don't want any black car.


The rationale is that a cage is more dangerous when not wearing a harness (hit your head on it). And the CGT seats don't have side airbags in them like the standard seats.



Thorax airbags in the seats aren't required by DOT. There has to be some other reason for the CGT seats not making it into the U.S.
