Give me the full cage, give me the harnesses. It provides safety and ties the car together. Ive been wanting to get it in my car for years, its good to finally be doing it. Watching cars get ansy at 170 in Orlando only reinforced that fact.

I was thinking of gettin one for my car when I throw in the new engine. the “just in case” factor. T-Tops + rollover = instadeath.

I just had the harness discussion with Paul(Nytrus) the other day. I dont believe harnesses are DOT approved. i realize they are sfi, but i think anything used in a passenger vehicle is required to have dot markings. Those clear light lenses are not all DOT approved which is why they dont technically pass NYSI. I’ll have to look into this further

My car is going to be driven on the street regularly and I also plan to see quite a bit of track time so I decided on an 8-point roll bar for added stiffness and safety.

I am putting a 8pt bar in my mustang. I need it at the track, and I like the added safety. Never thought about the cop thing though

Didn’t we have this “cage or no cage on streetcars” discussion already? Rollcage in street car = bad idea.

i guess i won’t be tracking mine much as i don’t want to put in a cage. consdiering 11.99’s will be done so easy this year…maybe even a 10.
