Most have them made/installed by race shops. This is the only company I know of for prefabbed GTO roll bars: http://www.autopowerindustries.com/applicationlist.asp

Back seats become useless and unsafe with a roll bar/cage installed. Have a good shop fab one up you'll be much happier.

my first GTO

A custom one is the way to go...

I agree, custom is it, i have a shop line up for 6 points moly $1,550 including window net, and removable side bars. Place is called Tig-Vision, check it out.. tell me what you think...
This will only be good for 10 flat tho...will cost $2,500 to get 10 points, and i think is too much security bars for a street car...

I have the Autopower bar in my GTO...it's the best rollbar I've ever seen as far as fit/finish go. The bar hugs the interior panels very nicely with consistent gaps. The only problem I had with it was installing it. Wow...what a pain. The great fit when it's finally installed means its a bear to get installed initially.

Here is a link to the article.

Hey thanks, work hard and hard work, isn't that a sinonimous of hot rodding, it is a good alternative to a $1,500 bill costom job, for sure... Will it be legal at track imspection time, been a bolt-on? Thanks, David...

It was built to NASA and SCCA spec, which isn't as strict in some ways as NHRA. I would contact Autopower and see what they say. I road race mine and have the four-point roll bar which made my inspector this time around very happy to see. Last track outing with a 445rwhp GTO made them say it would be a good idea and I agreed. Plus the harnesses help me keep my position on the seat.

Wish me luck, I'm going 6 point this week. Rihht now most of the floor is cut out of my 04 and I'm cleaning up all of the edges so it will be ready to start putting the floor back in when I pick my bar up tomorrow.

Hey Frank, to be NHRA legal do I need to weld the 6" x 6" plates in if the bars are going to be tied into my new square tube floor bracing?
