C6 of Year Finalist (performance mods) 2019
Strangely though, the guy that makes the sub-standard rollbar continues to sell them. Maybe he'll make another unsafe product for the C7.

I heard all the same whining about guys wanting one for the C6 to go quicker than 11.50 at the drags. Finally someone built one that doesn't meet the NHRA specs requiring attachment to the frame, but claims it's NHRA legal anyway. So I spent several months designing and building a prototype that actually securely welded/bolted to either the aluminum or steel frame, not just thin sheet metal or the balsa wood and plastic floor. I worked up production pricing that was extremely competitive and announced it to the Corvette community. It received raving accolades, including from a NHRA chassis certification tech director, but no one willing to put their money on the table and therefore no sales. They all liked it, but they continued to run at track rentals, tracks that didn't care, and/or make a pass or two and get booted out.

I was a vendor on CF for a short time over a year ago, so I can no longer post specifics. However, you might try adding a .com to my screen name and see what happens.
