OH MY GOD... [IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG]

Ok.. I dont know where to start... oh wait, yea I do.

A) Those bars wont meet ANY specs for ANY sanctioned race track. IE they will turn you away, if you try to run in any class that requires a roll cage be installed.

B) From the ammount of extra tubing those things use, id say they would weigh roughly 2 to 3x as much as a REAL roll cage.

C) Im willing to bet they cost more then a real roll cage as well.

D) You will most likely DIE if you crash with those things installed. Im sure theres a design or material use reason why they are not a sanctioned roll cage producer (if they were im sure they would advertize it all over the place). Not to mention the odds of you smacking your head or other vulnerable body part on one of those god awful bars (that are ALL over the place) in a serious crash are raised by about 10000 % over a real cage thats designed NOT to hurt you (as well as not bend, snap, or crush under great stress).

E) real roll cages add rigidity. all these do is add weight and ghayness.

F) Your going to have to be a yogi master to get in and out of the back seats.

LOL [IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG] in an accident you would probably bounce around from bar to bar until you would be as flexible as Gumby and his little orange horse (what the hell is the horse's name????) [IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG]
