Dude, when you do the cage don’t expect to have removable door bars if you run faster than an 8.5. ---

I’ve seen this a few times in this thread, but I’m not 100% sure this is correct. For Example Mark Carlyle’s Vette runs well into the 6’s and has swing-outs.

Joelster if you want to “help” find me a good deal on a cage. That is what this thread is for. You really think i’m trolling? This is so typical of your threads where the title has you asking a question. It’s like you already have your mind made up but just want to see replies. You’re going to do whatever you want to anyway regardless of what anybody posts up in here. (AKA, make your own over the winter). ---

Either help me find a good chassis fab guy or GTFO. Also my builds clearly demonstrate I have plenty of knowledge so sorry I don’t always listen to some guy on the internet questioning the way I go about something. The guys on here I respect turbociv,foureyed,dpmirpoc, etc I listen to and consult 100% Last thing and the reason I was asking if you are trolling is because you were so OT from what I was asking. I know you were trying to help but really…I just asked for a fab/chassis guy. No other feedback is needed. ---

I know you were trying to help but really…I just asked for a fab/chassis guy. No other feedback is needed. Maybe my post came across wrong, I apologize. I was basing the safety stuff around the fact that you ran out the backdoor at 144mph, without any of the 8 or so specific needed things at that mph. As a guy reading the thread I just assumed that you didn’t know ALL of the things needed, because that could get you banned from a track for a stunt like that. Then you come in here and say you know the rules inside and out, like i’m an idiot for even questioning it. If you were to post something like this on a national site like Yellowbullet, it would be at page 20 by now. Again, i’m not here to tell you what to do, I was just trying to help, that’s all. I’d still say to take it to a shop that will certify it, that will save you a potential headache down the road. ---

take this car to a HPDE at the glen as it sits today… it would be hillarious to see the gorpro footage of you blowing the doors off 996tt and gt3s, coast the turns a bit and then continue… that’s worth the 300-500 for a two day event 🙂 ---

Wow. Vitez was way less expensive than that. Only reason I was considering someone else is I’m pretty sure after he did my car he said he’d never do one like it again haha. The dash bar and getting the verticals through the dash had to be a pain in the ass. Mine fit real right and I wouldn’t hesitate to go back. edit, oops looks like I missed a few pages. ---
