Speaking from a recent incident in a solid roof car in which I slid on the roof for about 50 feet before coming to a stop, and walked away with a scrape on my knee, I will never run anything but a solid roof car at a track. The roll bar, racing seats, and 5-pt harness saved my life, but the roof kept my (helmeted) head from scraping against the road for the distance. The car was a flat line from the front end to the roll bar when the tow truck turned it back over.

My Boxster will never see the track again.

My advice is to go with the 944 with all the other safety equipment that it should have.
