Roll Bar or Cage

Who has a roll bar or cage in their Trans am LS1? I am thinking of getting one. What do you recommend?

Thanks,

James

I have a daily driver. How is it getting in and out of the car?

Thanks

Hey James, how fast do you plan to go? A (5-point NHRA legal) roll bar is better suited for daily driver who do not plan on going quicker than 10.00. If you plan to go faster than 9.90, you'll need a 10-point roll cage ... alot of butchering to the interior. Either one is going to be a pain to get in and out of, you'll have the safety cross bar running from the middle of your upper arm to the floor under the dash.

Roll bars would be fine if I can be convinced that I can get in and out of the car without doing a Dukes of Hazard leap into the car everytime I get in or out of it.

Thanks,
James
