Jeez this thread is nasty.....eh...
I feel like 85 is wayyyyyy fast enough for me, and thats too fast most of the time...
But I am a grandpa driver.
I think your in the market for a kevlar body, or a Ferrari, didn't an Enzo split in half when it hit a pole not to long ago going 100+? And didn't the driver say he let some random German (named hans, lol...j/k) drive his car? Which is complete bs

As for the random German driver, shockingly enough, they found the guy a few weeks ago.

In autocross you dont break 60 usually. At the drag strip, unless you are running 400some odd HP you wont break 125.
And if you are running in a professional circuit that frequents a track where there is a straight long enough to hit 125, Scionlife would be the last place you would look to get an NASA approved rollcage.
If you are anywhere near running 125 MPH legally in racing, you know there are tons of rules and laws to the building and wearing of safety equipment.

i'm saying 125 just because the top speed is 127. i don't always touch the 120mark but 110 is my regular speed in the high ways off PR. my car does 13.9 @ 101mgh so it will be for the track too

^^^^ WHAT HE SAID^^^^
you wont be worrying about roll bars when your motor/tranny is beaten to a pulp and your car is dead on the side of the road... going 100+ regularly is NOT good on the car man...no offense, it's still just a TC...a bone stock corvette will rip your 13.9 a new _______ so there's no point in driving like your TC is the fastest car on the road.
Also...you bought the car knowing it had a glass roof...you shoulda thought about that if you KNEW you were going to be going that fast on a regular basis...
but none of that matters because...roll bars wont stop your organs from slamming into each other or your rib cage inside your body...it's called the "internal collision" and is a major cause of death in accidents.

you're not doin anyones 13.9 with this crap: dc sport header, dc sport cat bach exhaust, Injen cold air intake, act clutch, Unorthodox Racing alluminum crankshaft pulley, apexi neo air fuel controler, arospeed ground kit.
sorry man im guessin 15.5 or 15.6 and thats on a good day.
drive the speed limit. i cant stand when people drive like douche bags on the highway becuase they have some money wasted under their hood and they thing thier friggen vin diesel.
btw yea waste your money on a roll cage then test it on a tree

But it is the impact that kills you, the impact of your internal organs and your ribcage.

It doesn't mater what you have done, none of that gives you the right to endanger other peoples lives.
Downhillspec (my other half) has the track tc with the rollcage in it that Brad (importspeed) mentioned earlier there is very very little that irritates me less than idiots that think they are special.
I can not tell you how many times Erik or I have had to call the police because we had to take that tC somewhere and some jerk tried to race us, we've had people go so far as cutting us off and slamming on their brakes just to be jerks because we do NOT advocate street racing.
NEITHER Erik nor myself will give you ANY information on where to get a cage, if you are legally racing it on a track where people know the chances they are taking getting behind the wheel then you should be informed enough to know what is required and where to get it.
If you wreck your car I'm gonna chalk it up as population control and prey you aren't rude enough to take any innocent bystanders with you.
There IS a reason for laws.
