And I built a full cage GT3RS on which I maintained street insurance/registration and license tag while it's mission in life was a 100% track car. Had I ever been pulled over on the street driving it to the gas station, it likely would have been impounded and/or confiscated. A full cage car is not legal, by DMV standards, to be street driven.

Not to mention it's just dumb because all that cromoly tubing around your unhelmeted head will kill you on the street just as quick as it will save your helmeted self on track. Yes, I was dumb to drive mine on the street the very few times I did.

Furthermore, if you have a full cage you do not want any airbags popping off in the cabin. So if you've done the proper thing and disabled your airbags to keep from hurting you and costing you money if you wreck on track, now you are doubly-street illegal.
