i believe a 6pt roll cage does not have the cross ladder bar that goes along with the seat. you can get an 8pt cage with swing out doors welded in but im not sure if they are NHRA legal if u take it to the track (assuming u run 12's)

I have a 8 point roll bar with rear x brace between supports. It's my daily driver. I have dual swing outs though... in my opinion that's the only way to go esp. when you're as big as me 6'5". I have hard time getting in and out of the car anyways.

I even still have both cup holders... even though I had to moleste the passenger side one a little bit... it still works.
