Default Simple roll Cage for a C5 coupe

Does anyone have any suggestions for a roll cage that is tech passable at Morosso speedway in Fl? Am putting in an ati Sc with headers in addition to an ati racing balance and crank keying (exhaust, xpipe, Throttle body coolant bypass, larger maf air sensor, 172 stat, already in). Breathless will do the work. To run at Morosso you need a cage for < 12.99 sec. This car is also a daily driver and I like to take the top off as well as use the rear for scuba gear stroage. Any help is appreciated.

Nothing is really "simple" but why don't you try "Wolfe Racecraft" ( http://www.wolferacecraft.com ) as they have both a weld in and bolt in. If you plan on going slower then 10.0 and don't modify the firewall you can go with a 5 point.

Seeing as Breathless is doing the other work, why not speak to Ernie about his safety products? :yesnod: Item # 100-246C $389.99 according to the new Breathless Performance Catalog. :D

I know someone who has one of there cages ... it is top notch and fits well ... they even powdercoated it to match his NBM car ...
