I just watched another Saleen S7 video and noticed that it doesn't have airbags, which is mandated in the US. Does anyone have any information on why the S7 doesn't have one? My guess is that Steve got a federal exemption for it, but I'm wondering if someone has some tidbits of information as to what standards the Feds use to grant such an exemption? I only know of one other company that got a Fed exemption and it was in the early 1990s, but an SUV company called LaForza. They also issued their cars with Momo steering wheels under an exemption, but promised compliance within X years...but ultimately the company went belly up.
