Yea, at the track I'm familiar with (Gainesville Raceway in Florida), cars 2008 and newer can run as fast as 10.00 in the quarter or 6.40 in the eighth without any cage or rollbar, as long as all the factory installed safety devices are present. I think it gets down to the cars all having airbags basically.
If you wanna run something faster than that (Tesla S Plaid, Lucid Air Sapphire, etc), you can get in a single pass before you'll get booted off the track.
I get so much sh!t from guys at work for driving mine in the winter. It hasn’t even snowed here yet. I tell people that if you don’t drive like a jackass, it’s not a big deal at all.
Warmer in Ohio rn, too. Drove mine to work earlier this week, 38* and dry. Young third shift guys were acting like I rode a rocket powered unicycle in freezing rain. I’m not even on drag radials, either. With way less power than you, too.
Another concern i had was that it's rumored that winter temps cause summer tires to crack and degrade faster when you drive on them below 42 (or sometehing like that). I haven't driven my car in the winter in pretty much forever. I'm not opposed to it, but i am opposed to ruining tires.
When i was a kid i daily drove the car on nitto drag radials, wasn't pleasant though they did warm up, just those were the days where i had no worries, bad tires, good tires, bald tires, tires with belts showing, i just wasn't concerned, i was going to burn them off the car anyway.

I drive my cars all winter...
Here is a frigid winter shot taken in early December. Had to wear my long sleeve...
