Default Unexpected Roll Bar Advantage
Got my beast back from Ed last week. He put in 2 removable swing arms. The positioning of the stub for the driver/passenger side is just above elbow level and perfect to use as a hand hold for extracting my old body.

I could have used one of those Saturday...after all that time in the car my dead pedal leg (aka my left leg) was soar...I need to get a M6 so my left leg gets a workout when I drive too.

CARTEK 2X H/C package, FAST Intake, Kooks No Cats, 4.10 HD rear, HD Clutch. Once you go faster than 11.5 the roll bar is required.

471 RWHP 411 TQ - once Steve teaches me to drive I anticipare low 11s.
