Along with a 4 or 5 point racing harness that gets wrapped around the frame, you won't have to worry flying out. Since crash tests don't have to be done on such a low production vehicle, CAD tests were done. Results show that the chassis exceeds NASCAR safety specifications. Take a look at k-1s site. If it was false it would have been removed by now. Love it or hate it. Whatever. Once you drive one, you will want one. And by no means is this car meant to be a daily driver. That's what your Accord is for. This is a car for people who have more dollars than sense, and want something different.

So what happend Axeman? Why did you go sour on the idea of an Attack? According to this you seemed very interested in getting one. The car that George Knighton is talking about here was probably either the POS yellow attack or the newer black one. There are structural roll bars under the glass in the rear. The windshield is sloped, but there is a lot of structure to keep it from buckling if rolled. Heck, I'm not sure that the car was meant to be raced competitively on a track anyway. I have some newer video of a Black attack on a German TV show like our Car and Driver.
Here is what know about the newer cars. The newer cars are being built with lighter Ford Duratec engines. The engines will be mounted lower in the engine compartment, and further forward. Weight distribution is said to be 49/51. With a crappy f22/130 HP most drivers will be able to handle the car. It is still capable of a 14 sec 1/4. Most people can handle that. It comes down to driver experience on how a car handles. My daily driver is a modded Z28. I swapped ends on an exit ramp when I first bought it. Now I can drift on exit ramps if I want to. If you are going to push a car, you need to learn it first. Besides, how many newbie drivers will have an Attack anyway?
