by the way, most people in here are handling oriented so most people won't know what a 25.5 is
Looks good though, you should post this in the drag racing forum for more input.

I guess I'll have to explain it then so you won't have to deal with the unwashed masses.


It's an SFI roll cage spec aimed at pretty darned fast stock-type (non tube frame) cars.

SFI spec 25.5 is for use in a full bodied car using the OEM floorpan and firewall with the OEM frame or uni-body construction.... good for 7.50 to 8.49 Seconds; 3,600 lbs. maximum.

You're too humble and need to express your feelings more. Stop holding back.

-1 point for not just posting both sets of pics in one thread

+1 point for building a car in the Middle East. Are you serving over there right now? If you are then kick some ***.

Typical cage of drag radial guys, class in which min weight is 3400 lbs. and must run stock-style suspension. Maximum tire width 295 radials. Must be running well into the 7's in order to have any chance of competing.

There is not a US Military base in Alkoor to my knowledge, so I believe I can safely say no. I have a few friends in Kuwait, they have some sick cars over there My roomate 2 years ago is also from Kuwait and needed to buy a car here so he bought an FJ cruiser while he was waiting for the new G37 to be released
