Whoopsy:

Unlike the Americans, we Canadians drive around with seat belts ON.

But alas, our cars are obeying DOT rules, so no roll cages for us with Weissach Pack.

The DOT law for no unpadded roll cages was because their 'study' deemed that most Americans drive around not wearing seat belts, hence in an accident they body and body parts might contact the unpadded hard surface of the roll cages and impact extra injury. 

Clueless Americans, or better yet, clueless American lawyers and lawmakers. 

Let Darwin's Law rule, if those people choose to not wearing seat belts, let them DIE.

Also, prosecute those liability lawyers, gives them death sentences if they loses. 

These "Not my fault" mentality needed to change. IF one chooses to pay more attention to Navi system than the road, then it's not the fault of the car maker to OFFER a Navi system. Skip those useless warnings. IF one chooses to not wear a seat belt, it's not the fault of a car maker that design the interior for people who actually wears a seatbelt!

 

BMW was able to provide a rollbar with their latest M4 GTS in USA - why can't Porsche do whatever BMW did (did it receive padding or so?)?

Doesn't look padded here:

Don't think US got the lightweight seats (that look like Recaro Pole Position) though...
