You should roll it and see how it holds up.

I'll be number 4.

You track your car often and you wanted a roll bar, seems logical to me...

wow big bu bu those are on sale for 5 bucks a piece, you should buy a bunch and duct tape them (preferably matching duct tape, but if not, maybe camo duct tape) to the cage, for increased safety.

My buddy put 20" CCW's on his gen 4 Camaro and it wheelhopped like crazy. Before he installed a rear trailing arm relocation kit he installed a roll cage and the wheelhop was gone. Maybe yours will have the same effect.

Looks great, Big Bu Bu! I should probably do the same sort of thing, but instead I just ignore the fact that I'm doing obscene speeds on track and pretend that nothing bad could ever happen to me.

That's me. Owned by children playing on the internet. What else would you expect for a "retarded **** magnet ricer" with a roll bar

You should just ignore the people who are full of negativity. You bought a performance vehicle, nothing you have done to it is out of the ordinary.

I still dig the seats.

I don't know how some of you aren't getting how stupid it is to do this to a 4 door sedan. You render the back doors useless, you might as well just pull the panels off them and sell them.


This being said, Yoopers vette, I could certainly see myself in. But regardless, it's not logical (IE completely retarded) to completely nullify the rear seats in a 4 door sedan that you're still going to daily drive. He is a ricer.
this is the dumbest argument i have ever heard. The previous owner of my car had only two people in his family so he never used the back doors. My wife and I only have us in our family and honestly if i have to carry more then two people i take a truck. So i never use my back seats, not sure how it would be a waste to pull them out full time. More so why on earth would you car what someone does to their vehicle?

There are people who are afraid to go out of the ordinary. There are people who get curious and have more of an imagination. Though not always a big hit with everyone, at least they tried. In all honesty, others need to quit worrying about how people mod their own cars and stick to their own car.

Gonna have to remember that one.

The difference is you are using yours for a track car and Radeon's car is his dream car that he spent his lifes savings on.
He's probably waxing it right now.

Clean cage.....while I understand the basis or Radons argument......the bottom line is you love your car, your drive it dangerously on a track, frequently, and you value keeping you head attached if you roll the thing over.

I debated for several months whether or not to cage my "street driven" Camaro. I was tracking it every month or two, and with the carefully chosen mods, and skill I developed I decided the car was too fast on track TO NOT have a cage. Good call on the install. Safety first brotha!

Looks like a combination of a "V" and a sandrail.

how dare you do that to your car? who puts a roll cage into a performance car? how would you fit your stock seats now for 2nd gear highway pulls?
