Bolt In Cages...Friend or Foe?

one day it will be gone.

Why is that? I've heard of some ppl geting annoyed at the hassle of having a roll cage after the glamour wears off... Is that it?

Lack of 2500 fore a real deal DOM 10 point that SCCA and NHRA will pass

Ah... I see. When looking at pics of the Godspeed cage installed, I thought I looked a bit different from other cages I'm used to seeing...


Versus something like:


I wouldn't worry to much about rolling over on the street, but I do worry about side impact collisions. The Godspeed/Cusco cage doesn't look like it would help much there with its lack of sidebars, but I don't know. Just an point of concern, really.

id buy an autopower cage. not much more and alot better materials.
godspeed cage will allow you to tandem at most events.
but imo you shouldnt be doing side by side drifting in your daily...
if you crash on the street you wont know the difference anyway...

The differences in the two are drastic because one is a bolt in cage, and the other is a professionally installed cage that is allowed to compete in any event it would wish.

The bottom I'm sure is NHRA/WRC/SCCA/D1 approved and any other race it wanted to race in, besides like nascar or something.
