It is a homemade custom rollbar, the trick was to decide on the seats first and then adapt the rollcage and build it "around" the Sparco seats.

I am going to be building a 6 point for my Z06 soon. All the ones I have seem including the Wolfe in my C5 Vert SUCK. The loss of leg and head room with the hoop going to the floor is pitiful. I am going to try and put the hoop further back near the window and attach it on top of the frame behind the seats. I might lose an inch or so of height, but the HEAD to HOOP clearance is worth it.
Put it as far back as you can and tilt it at an angle a little backwards, strengthen the floor with a beam (under the car) between the frame and bolt the main cage to that one, then the rest is simple just to bend the "front bars" around the seat and rearbars is a piece of cake!
Give me a shout in case you want pics, mine is approved for Dragracing as well!

another set of Evos here too.
Evo for me and Evo 2 for the passenger so the larger guys can get in there.
like was posted earlier, not the most fun on the street, they're great once you're in, but getting in and out and dealing with a harness can get a little old. For a track only car, i'd look at something like the Sparco Circuit with the halo around your head to give your neck a little extra protection, but there's not way you could use that on the street and be able to see traffic around you.

Make sure you get the measurements of the seats before you buy them. There isn't a lot of space, and some seats wont fit! My Corbeaus JUST fit, the wide version of the same seat would never fit.
