spiller Posted 23September, 2015 Report Share Posted 23September, 2015 The 996 GT3 (and all other GT street legal cars) does not come with an entire racing full roll cage (must be typo on carsales). It does not affect entering and getting out the car the 996 clubsport was fitted with half rear from factory and the front half was given to the owner out of the car. There is a page in the owners manual stating its not designed for use on public roads (nice piece put together by Porsche lawyers) but they did come with a full cage that was to FIA standards at the time the car was released.

StevepGT3 Posted 23September, 2015 Report Share Posted 23September, 2015 I`m pretty sure ( in Vic Anyway) that front cages are now illegal on the road,and if you are not wearing a helmet you would be wise to not run one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That being said, I went through an RBT in my lotus exige once which had a massive roll cage and the cop didnt say a word. If you tried that in your Nissan Silvia drifter on the other hand, the yellow would be slapped on without hesitation. I think when they police see expensive cars like Porsches etc they dont second guess. Also the cage in the GT3 is very tight with the roof line and not really close to your head space at all, especially if you have the fixed back buckets fitted.

ADR crash tests would be done sans cage so probably a bit hard for the governing bodies to not blanket ban them all as anybody with a welder could potentially put a cage in anything.

The fact that Porsche used to give the customer the front cage whereas no days you have to order it specially probably says something about the way the world is going with regards to safety, but also litigation.

GTP911 Posted 25September, 2015 Report Share Posted 25September, 2015 TBH I think its the kms that also are putting people off. Whilst not that high they are higher than most of the previous cars on the market (seem to be around the 30-60k mark). Wheels and decals are easy to revert, but agree it does make people nervous (thoughts towards boy racer owner etc.) What's more of interest is that the car was originally offered at 120k from memory, then boosted to 150, then came back online at 130k and now back again at 110k. Finance fallen through again or something else? Hmmmmm............(Being in WA doesn't help either)Sold again? $109K Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
