Hee Hee. My info was from long before there was import drag racing. Used to have a subscription to HOTROD. Surprising NHRA would bend on a rule like this.

 

I was told that my cage would cost about $700 to install. Mine was a full cage that went around the roof and te dash and doors, etc... That was too much for me so I am selling my Kirk Cage and having a custom chromoly cage built and installed instead. I believe that the 6 point will cost me $900 installed for a chromoly cage.



As far as weight goes, if you are serious about drag racing than weight matters. Not for street driving or safety but you will not find a competitive race car with a heavy cage, lightweight equals more speed. I am not going all out drag but to me 30-40lbs is alot to save. That saved weight with the spare tire, jack, etc.. and you could save almost 100lbs which could be the difference between a 11.0 and a 10.9. I went chromoly.

 

Whats the word on installing a cage in a touring? Will i have to get a non touring model or go with a custom set up?

 

my car has more than enough power to get in the 10's i'm not worried
