The Meguirs pro FWD drag Focus has a custom CF body that weighs something like 18 pounds for the whole thing. I guess if you have a full roll cage yoy don't really need your doors for impact protection anyways. These are the things you have to do to get your car into the 9s.

a roll cage will not save your *** in a side impactunless you have bars that go accross the door. roll cages are to saev you for when you ROLL. they help support the roof.

OK bad choice of terminology, I meant a race cage, which is essential if you are tryimg to go REALLLY fast on the strip or the track.
