As far as bar on the street, you can easily set it up so the main hoop is out of the whiplash range of your head and if you have a taller aftermarket seat to prevent head to bar contact, its even better.

All it takes is money. And in the end, shouda stayed stock.
Youtube vids of airbags deploying while drag racing.....funny to watch but not when its your car. Also, you have to look at some of the intense wrecks that occur in motorsports at very high rates of speed yet the driver walks away. Then you look at 40-60mph wrecks on the street where most are taken by ambulance and any speed above that, the driver usually doesn't fair too well. So I guess we are only arguing the "street" environment here and not a track of any sort. Still, it must hold some water.
