There generally isn't any place that would allow you to run sub 10 second quarter miles without a roll bar and that was just lowered for the latest generation street cars. I believe they won't even give you a time if you exceed the safety limit.

German cars use to have a speed limit of 155mph and Porsche even sold factory rollbars for the GT series of cars (Not in US because of --Freedom-- laws). I sure hope Musk is considering safety with these ~5000 lbs rockets.
- jayzalowitz 6y agoIm pretty sure with the weight distro being pretty much all at the bottom of the car its almost impossible to roll outside of an accident involving another car. Apparently the frame is a monster too, so it might qualify there somehow.
