hey i am thinking about putting a roll cage in my vert, but i want people still to race me. all my buddies say don't do it. its not because of the horsepower which the tear down is in progress... rebuild bottom, hci, and a 100 shot. so maybe 350 to the wheels. its for the fact that i've heard its like night and day when you put one in. the chasis is as stiff as the coupe and hatch's if not better. i hate rail road tracks right now. i just wanted to know if there is a roll cage that can be undetected from outside the vehicle. like down the door frames and across the lower back seat(which i've taken out)? or do i need to get a custom cage built?
thanks

A "roll cage" gets its name because it will save your life in the event of a rollover it wouldn't be much use if it were hidden around the perimeter of the open body.

Maybe you're looking for stiffer subframe connectors instead?

Grey Stang is right, and besides racing should be done at the track and if you have a fast enough car a roll cage is a required safety device, just like seatbelts and a helmet. street racing is a great way to lse your ride 4 ever, I know from experience.

You will want a custom rollcage if you want it more on teh unnoticable side. I like to get one as well but I want to have reg access to the back seat.

that will never stiff it up like the coupes or hatches.

a roll bar DOES stiffen up the chassis quite a bit. i was looking at a MM street roll bar. only 260 and looks ok. but im just gonna go with a sytling bar, i dont plan to race the vert...thats what coupes are for lol

A few days ago I got on the highway and got my convertible up to around 120 or 125 mph and I don't think Ill ever do it again! I just did not feel very safe! You never know what could happen.

Get the roll bar. Custom ones always fit better but cost more.

Is racing worth it when your prized mustang makes a pizza out of your head if you roll it?

I have had my vert up to 150+ and it felt safe
