medicalstudent - I understand your point, but for example, at VIR (my "local" track, I can't even put an s2000 on it without an SCCA-legal bar - 1.5" or whatever above the height of my helmet. And there ought to be real restraints, which require apprpriate seats, etc, etc.
AX is different - a lot of places require didley except you wear a helmet.
I still need to see it and the price....

There is only 200 CR that is stripped, (the version that everyone wants)there are 50 states. The other 1800 Cr is just a normal AP2 with goodies and no wt reduction.
What makes any of us think we'll get one? (the 200Cr version)

As I posted previously, if it really is meant to be for the track, it needs a real bar or cage, and 5-6pt harnesses with appropriate seats, extinguisher, etc. Otherwise it is not a track-ready car, just another street car needing mods. The hardtop is not going to be sufficiently strong to help you in a rollover, even though it might pass some inspections. So even with the hardtop you need a real bar in this car.
If it were really a track-oriented and ready car, I would buy it and drive it on the track. If it'll take a chunk of $$ to get it to VIR and make it safe, need to rip up the interior and put in a bar, etc, then not worth the $.
We'll see.

Most of the aftermarket roll bar for this car looks awful compared to what is available for the Miata. A permanent hardtop with up side down crash worthiness would better compliment the intent of the Club Racer.

Well If i remember right the Soft top frame is light as Hell...I mean its 12lbs or something...with the Cloth and motor it might be 30lb max?
If thats it than i think there is no point of striping the car from the Soft top frame....
I say ..make it All aluminium and make it a 50k car.
Than its ok.

Any idea on how they will stiffen up the chassis?

Why bother with those then?
Hmm unless I misread that, I don't really care about the CR now.
