Why do you want a roll cage/bar? Are you planning on racing you mustang? There are bolt on cages that can be installed quickly and for cheap.

YEah its a comforting feeling that if you are on a strip at 100+ and a tire blows out you have a good chance of not gettin killed

For what it's worth, NHRA does NOT require you to have a roll bar unless you are going 11.49 or quicker. If you use a bar then it must meet NHRA spec's. Do not buy a bar just based on price as there are a bunch of them out there that NHRA will not accept........
