I notice you conveniently avoided answering the question, too.
I know the dynamics of a crash are infinite, so it's impossible to plan for all of them, which is why planning for the most likely is what we do.
Even the T1 cars don't plan for all of them (sans fuel cell, auto fire suppression) but they plan for the ones that are most likely.
Granted, full race cars are the way to go and a cage is better than a harness bar. But preparing a street car as safely as we can for track days is the only alternative some of us have. No, I have no illusion that it as safe a full on race car, but it's as safe as I can make it.
It seems as though you are advocating no street cars on track because it’s impossible to make them 100% safe. (But for some reason you give the T1's a pass on the fuel cells & auto fire suppression???). I can't disagree with that position on street cars, that’s certainly laudable, but as we all know it's impossible to guard against every potentiality, so we prepare for those that we can.
