Yes, but if it isn't doing 100% track duties, the convenience of not having a full cage out weighs having to deal with its headaches on the street.

If it isn't going to be a daily driver, I'd definitely just remove the carpet. Yes, you'll hear everything on the road, but there's also no other feeling hearing everything. Most likely, windows are going to be down anyway.....

No carpet can look really clean. Here's a 944S2 with 968 engine conversion prepped for track by J3. A fellow named Chad got it built and it is now sold to an individual. I like the way it looks with what was removed and what stayed put. The dash remained relatively stock, but it looks right at home.

The car was intended for 50/50 duties. My spec car looks very similar, except for the full cage and dirt everywhere.
