Well - he says that the car runs low 10's and pulls the wheels off the ground.. That's pretty impressive. That car would be exactly what I'm looking for if I'd had the money... I like especially the Ford 9 inch rear and the 8 point cage...

be careful if you live in NY or Ca, this car prolly would not pass emissions inspection (ya think?), unless ya trade 10 bucks and a six pack... :-)

It's a small block with 456 gears and no overdrive. Not for me.

It has a six point cage and it would only be good for higher than NHRA 10.99

Norval 4.56 really isn't that bad when you have super tall tires. It would turn some heads just like your supercharged monster.

The Ebay ad says that it has a 8-point cage ..

Grand Sport. If you open up any of the interior pictures you can see that it barely qualifies for a 6 point. The 45 or so degree door bar to actually be legal has to cross the drivers upper arm between the shoulder and elbow.

ok! I just quoted the auction.. I don't really understand too much about roll cages.. I'm sure that you know a lot more about them than I do...

I was also reading about it and looking at the pictures. When I said, what's he talking about 8 point for when it's only a 6 point

roll bars or cages have a point system. Which referes to how many places it attaches to the frame.

The picture shows only 3 per side - rearmost mount - behind the seat - in front of the seat.

8 points generally include the front window hoop and bars going through the firewall and attaching near the front suspension.

My wife up above Lake Tahoe Nevada

These are NHRA certified 9.90 class

Would it be possible that he has 6 mounting points (3 each side) at the rear and 2 in front??? There could be bars that are hidden by the seats...?? :confused: :confused:

It might be an 8-point, 4 in the back, 2 behind the seats, and 2 in front of the seats. But most likely not legal for 9.99 and quicker. He would need it going down the A-pillar, if I'm not mistaken and that's why he says it does low 10's.

Unless the rules have changed recently (or a T-top Vette must meet convertible requirements), a 6-pt cage is good to 9.99/135mph in the 1/4.

gkull is right though. The side bars must pass b/w the shoulder and elbow of the driver who is racing the car. At one time I had a cage in my old Mustang that was illegal by 2-3" and at one track I got busted for it. It was a tad too low, which made the car more practical as a street driver b/c of ease of entry/egress. I soon had those two bars modified to better meet the rule requirements. :)
