It's all about the insurance. We spend more on our cars so they can get cheaper premiums. If they were really worried about us, we would all be running cages no matter what the car was, neck braces and 5 point seat belts.
They should be making older cars convert to better brakes, install better safety restraints and also install cages. I would prefer to get into an accident in my car doing 100 than one of those old death traps doing 60.
Sure, they care to a point about our safety but this is probaly more about their $$$ pockets than anything.

So that would mean all cars that come from the factory that can run that quick should come with built in cages or else the driver is at risk of injury?
I don't think so.
It's a conspiricy with the parts mfrs to sell more parts to drag racers!
