I think autometer makes a good one that's compatible with most racing sanctioning bodies. If it's for drag racing I'm not sure. www.ioportracing.com

It would entirely depend on your use of the car. If your looking to convert your car for road racing ( SCCA or NASA) for a custom built cage your looking at $6 to $10 K depending on who installers it.
Before you buy a cage look at the technical regulations of the Race organization you plan to compete with. Not all roll cages are built the same nor will pass technical inspections of each race orgainzations.

I'd check with Doug Rippie Motorsports....a man I know has a roll cage in his full race DRM modified C6. They're a good shop to do business with.

Not telling them how to you use it, just an opinion, get it right Rambo..
And I was not reffering to the hard core racer, just the every day high octane street driver, who cares how he enters his c6 with that diagonal bar shooting across to the left foot rest pad.

Most of that is esoteric, because if you are building a legal competition car most would not start with a Z chassis anyhow. If you did, a custom built cage can be attached with a little bit of ingenuity.
The bottom line is that for some additional stiffness and protection on a track day the Pfadt bar is a nice bolt in.

Plus he was asking about a 4 point roll bar. Not some gay nhra door bar set up.

NHRA requires a bar if you can do better than 11.5 in 1/4.
I have a local guy that has done several here in VA Bch. He's doing a cro-molly 6 point cage bolted to the frame with 2 swingouts.
Total cost $2,000
