How much power before i need roll cage?
#1
I have a 2000 SS Camaro and i was just wondering for future reference how much hp/tq these cars can handle before they would need a roll cage. It is a street car but might be an occasional strip car. I plan on building a motor for it one day when i have money and im not a big fan of having a roll cage in a primarily street car. I wouldnt care to have a strut tower bar and subframe connectors but i would like to stay away from a roll cage. I just dont want it to hook one day and tweak the chassis so if anyone can help me it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

A cage is more dependent on what you'll use it for.
A Miata needs a cage and it only has 120-ish HP.
I'll be making 600+hp but will only require a 4pt cage because it's a 50/50 street/road race car.

If you don't want to cage her, just make sure you don't clock under 11.50 @ the track unless you want to park it for the night. Otherwise SFCs should keep you from twisting the car up.
