When will I need a roll bar?
Exactly how fast can you go in a hardtop before you need a roll bar? What type of bar do I need? I use my car everyday and I dont want to be uncomfortable in it.
thanks

For Drag Racing?
If I remember correctly, NHRA requires a five point roll bar at quarter mile elapsed times lower than 11.99.

I think the main hope has to be welded in and the reat can be bolted but I am not posotive. Kaley
