Default C-5 Roll Cage?
Who makes a good solid Roll cage for a C-5 Coupe?

Do you want a cage or bar? How fast are you running?

RSD makes a five or six point "ROLL BAR" for corvettes. You need a cage for 9.99 or faster and a trap speed of 135 mph+ also requires a cage.

Are you looking for a drag race cage or something more substantial for road racing? Kirk Racing makes a cage that can be delivered to you for installation. Here are some pictures of their C5 Weld In cage:





There are several other shops that fabricate cages but you need to send the car to them.

I got my 5 point roll bar set-up from: 5 point is good for the 9.99 class a cage is needed for faster times and MPH above 135.

www.wolferacecraft.com

Mine is the 5 point bolt in with rmovable door bar:

It is what NHRA requires and this and RSD's roll-bars meet the requirements for the bolt in set-up.

Thanks,Matt
