not so much fast cars, any car. I'd rather be in somethin like that than my neon in an accident.

you are surrounded by an impact absorbing space frame that has many points for easy egress, in a firesuit with a fire supression system, and hooked up to some parachutes that are going to stop you rapidly.

In the average neon, 4 or 6pt bar, full doors, glass, most of your body is exposed, at most fire jacket and helmet for the most part, no firebottle, minimal impact absorbing areas, most of which are compromised by the cage/bar etc. Put me in a purpose built 6-7second car any day over a 10second street/strip car.
