This example: http://www.vividracing.com/catalog/a...o-p-74008.html

Was ripped as being little more than a "harness bar" by several NASA guys...I only mention this because these guys are experienced racers and brought up several important points to consider when buying a roll bar...
I've heard about the AP bar at the track and it's usually been part of a joke from a Porsche guy. I had never seen it in person or in pictures until now and I can say that I agree that it looks like it serves no more purpose than a harness bar. It has many more problems than just too many bends!

The Weichers kit looks significantly more intelligently designed!
