Roll cage work as well as sub-frame??
Always wanted a 6 or 10 pt. cage. Will they work as well as sfc or would I need both. Bird is a hardtop.

I opened my garage and hop into my Mustang, start the engine and imagine cruising down the road. . . . then I wake up in a cold sweat.

There are pics on my site of a 6 point roll bar installed. A full cage isn't required until you go quicker than 9.99 in the 1/4 mile or 10.99 if the floor or firewall have been modified. There may be other race classes that require a full cage such as road course. A full cage is overkill in a typical street car. It also adds un-needed extra weight. My 6 point bar is 70 pounds.
