Removal of airbags would mean an instant canary and be incredibly stupid. Removal of a primary safety device is not recommended.

Airbags are primary safety devices? ... and seatbelts are....?

FYI, seatbelts are the primary safety devices for cars sold in Australia. That may not be the case everywhere (hint: the good ol US of A), but it is here.

Airbags are (important) secondary safety devices to supplement the role of seatbelts, but lets keep our facts clear.

On a personal note, there is no way I would drive a car without seatbelts, but lack of airbags would not trouble me greatly. The GM has both, but the new racecar will not have a bag - ok, its a racecar you say, but the shunts are still subject to the same laws of physics.
