Whats required roll cage wise for my XT sedan if the car runs a 10 second pass?
Are bolt in cages legal?
What sort of configuration should I be looking at?
Id really hate to have to cut the car up
Cheers Brad

4 point bolt in or weld in, either mild steel or chromoly. All meeting andra specs. But the good news is if you run 10.50+ on a wednesday night you don't need a cage anymore. New cars with airbags and 4 wheel disc brakes can go 10.00.

Have you looked into the street legal side of having a cage ?
Just wondering what the laws are here
