I remember reading that convertibles needs a roll over bar to go autoslaloming(correct me if I'm wrong)
but in certain cases it wasn't really needed

I'm wondering if this car could go autoslaloming without the need to install a roll bar and probably void the warranty

No roll bar required in Slalom, convertible or no, until you get wayyy up into the prep points. You do need a roll bar for Time Attack or Lapping at AMP with most convertibles, however.

Nice car, BTW. They look like a lot of fun for Slalom with some sticky tires on them. Josh Boudreau's coupe really tore up the ashphalt.

Doesn't mean I know anything these days! I haven't read a slalom rulebook in years. Now throw dirt into the mix... :D

Okay, used to be that there were a few models with high enough factory bars that they passed muster. ALL is certainly easier to remember, though. :)
