Roll Over Protection

[VENOMUS]

I just received my 04 snake back from Tom Sessions who did some great modifications. Stage 3 Heads, 1.7 Crower Rockers, Performance Controller, 708 Cam, Corsa Track Exhaust with secondary cats and crossover removed, 3.55 and K&N. This car was very strong just stock but now it’s on steroids. Thanks Tom, it sounds just right, the power is perfect and you do great work!!!!

With all this muscle and knowing my nature, I have concerns about roll over protection. Autoform makes their roll bars but would they give you enough protection in a rollover. I’m 6’1” and my head is above the back of the seat. It would seem that if a roll over occurred, the Autoform setup would give very little head protection if any. If I lowered the seats an inch or two would help but not sure.

Has anyone seen how this car holds up during a roll over and would the Autoform allow enough clearance for true protection?

Thanks in advance,

Screw you. You might as well go ahead and change your user name.

"BigMelon" perhaps?

There was a thread on this about 3 or 4 weeks ago. I think it arose after that terrible accident in Las Vegas with the father and daughter. Try a search.

Call DC Performance they make the only roll bar that welds in to the frame rails.

Lower the seat and buy a hardtop. I bought the autoform roll bar too.

NichOlas, any roll bar, including the autoform, can be welded to the frame rail.

My bad I wasn't aware that the Autoform went all the way down to the frame.

 

[Viper X]

It does.
