Default roll cage

Try this company. I bought on of their roll cages for my 99 corvette vert and it looks and works great. Hope this helps Jason

That's one of the first places I checked, checked with Chris Alston & some custom builders, everyone is hooked up right now. Getting ready for the shootout.

Would you really even need a rollcage in the 5th gens since the roof is pose to withstand 3times its weight?

It's about compliance with rules, not that the car can take a direct hit from an 18 wheeler.

I do not know of any company offering a bolt in cage yet. Sounds like you are going to have to have a fabricated cage welded in.

I am wondering how many 5th gens they are going to kick off the track at the shoot out for the reason alone.

None of the reputable cage builders around here are hooked up with Cruisin the coast & the shootout. Bad time to try to get stuff fabricated quick.

Yep.. You are running short on time. I know its a long shot and no where close to you but have you talk to Mad man to see if he could flip it around in time. He is the man!!

I talked to him days ago, he really wants someone to give him one to cutup, but he's too hooked up until the shootout. I will send it to him after the shootout. He's less than 2 hours from the house.

Guess we will just see what they do to all the non caged cars when we get there. I will be talking to him shortly about doing the suspension on my chevy 2.
