saw a segment on the news about the 2012 requirent for vehicles to have anti-rollover potection. The technology uses braking and steering control to reduce the chance of rollover. do you think this will kill autocrossing?

I've heard this will be required in the future as well. I doubt they will make it defeatable. What they should do is make it mandatory for it to be available on all models. That way we could order cars with out it if we didn't want it. I know the liberal weenies will whine about it being a safety feature only the rich can have, so make it a no cost option and just price it into the car whether it has it or not. BTW, I think they should do the same thing with air bags and the tire pressure monitoring systems. For what it's worth I don't think it will kill autocross, just slow it down a bit.
