Roll Cage?

when i get my next mustang, im gonna do a 6 or 8 pt roll cage even tho its gonna be a street car, and (some1 correct me if im wrong) but iirc, installing a roll cage will help reduce chassis flex

 

Well under a certain et at the track they REQUIRE you to have a cage in your car, weather yours ever runs that fast is up to you. For a DD car I dont think I would put a cage in it, but thats just me. If I had kept my 91GT I would have wound up with a cage in it, and it was not my main DD but I did drive it quite a bit.

My vote is NO

 

i would vote no also, i think that its un nec. and IMHO , i like the styling bar better than the 4 point "thing". But whatever floats your boat.

 

hes WAYYY faster than that, but hes a hard top

 

You got your glasses on today ?

 

Hmmm, 13.99 is the limit for verts huh? I don't know, i'm already close to that with the car stock. o well. Looks like i will have to sand bag till i have a race for some $ ^-^

 

In NJ its 13.99 for verts and 11.40 for hardtops. Any car that is not n/a driver must wear certified 3 2-A/1 fire suit jacket. I am putting my rollcage in this fall. Chromolly 6pt. 4pt is nice on verts and you dont need to change the seats.

 

i reccomend the competition engineering 8 point bar and RCI 5 point harnessess.. i highly reccomend it...


its a regular 6 pt bar, but then has 2 more that connect to your SFC's (go through the floor), my MM subframes even have a pad on them where u weld the cage.


until my motor is done i'm not installing the front bars, but in a couple wks here i'm going to have the 6 rear bars installed, and the plates on the floor for the fronts, so when i pop the motor in its 4 quick welds and done :boink:

the reason i'm doing this is i dont like the look of swingouts, and unless you are small (and i am haha) getting over a rollbar daily is a huge PITA. so i suggest either going this route, or getting swing out door bars, so you dont hate driving your car :banana:



but once it has 600+hp, ill deal with the climb :boink:

 

i would only get a cage if your car wasn't a DD and didn't see much city driving...cause if you get in a bad enough accident and your noggin ends up hittin the cage.... :noes:

and im pretty sure they are most likely not street legal either.

 

i don't know, if i got into another bad accident like my first.....i would really want a cage in this vert. If it wasn't for the hard top on my 89 i wouldn't be here to post with you fine fellas. O well, its all good. Just gotta be more careful and not drive when i've only had 2 hours of sleep in the last 2 days. :blah2:

 

what kinda interior modding goes on with lets say a 4 point roll cage do you have to delete the rear seat? I mean I would be awsome if the interior was left alone but I doubt thats happening.
