Does your Indy car have side airbags?

What are the chances of getting t-boned on the street?

You already live on the jagged edge, I don't think the safety sacrifice will really matter much ... until you try to sell it.

If you don't want them let me know, I will buy them right now. I going to be removing ALL my air bags in the entire car, that stuff weighs a ton. I survived my teenage years, with no experience, lots of testosterone and very stupid driving a built 400 HP Trans Am with NOS, with no ABS or airbags so I don't really think I need them on this car either. Can you let me know where you got those?

Did you call Brad about the DTM CF Sparco seats yet?

I will let you know,if I don't put them in the car I will sell to you for what I paid. I got them from Germany a friend that works at AMG got me, quite expensive but really nice.

I spoke with Sparco direct as they are my sponsor and we will work something out.

from a medical standpoint, id say the airbags by your head are the most important, unless you wear a helmet while driving on the street. The problem is that i dont know if the BS has airbags by your head cuz i dont have one yet.

As for surviving your teenage years without airbags, the problem now is the pimply faced teenage kid with the 400HP rice rocket who loses control and hits you.

Let me know if you dont put them on and whoever else is ahead of me falls through. I'll take them off your hands. Those are amazing.

Very nice. I would put them on. I also agree with Doc. The MOST important air bags are the ones that protect the head, although the other ones are good to have as well. The 400HP rice rocket being polited by a kid is a pretty scary image as well. Enjoy them Tony.
