Roll Bars
Unless otherwise required by your class: Roll Bars required on convertibles running quicker than 11.00 - 13.99. Roll Bars required on all cars running quicker than 11.00 - 11.99.
Roll Cages
Roll Cages required on convertibles running 10.99 or faster than 135mph. Roll Cages required on all cars running 10.99 or faster than 135mph. - One exception: full bodied cars running between 10.00 and 10.99, with unaltered firewalls, floor and body (from firewall rearward - wheel tubes permitted) can compete with just a roll bar.Faster than a 9.99 you need a chassis sticker and have the car reinserted every 3 years.

So obviously its never been to the track...I could be wrong.
But thats really irrelevant...no more need for flaming or need to look for trouble guys.

I see you guys have to research to try and "beat" me. Good
But not good enough. the 10.8 second time was accomplished during the first visit ever to the drag strip. Obviously you guys have never brought a 10 second car to the track so you wouldn't have any experience in this situation. Since the car is fully a street car, most drag strips will let it slide the first time you visit a local track (believe it or not a lot do not even know what the standards are). Yes, it's true that you need a cage if you run 10's and have a drop top. So once the car made the 10.8 second pass, they have your car on record (Race ID I believe) and the next time you try and visit a drag strip you will not be able to run if you haven't met the requirements (This they will greatly ENFORCE). The "sucky" part is that because you ran without properly complying with the rules, you cannot get your slip.
The car was purchased (by me and my brother) and we have no plans whatsoever to convert it to a race car. As for those wondering how I can afford such a car, it was a 70/30 deal (he's got 5 days a week vs my 2 weekend days). By saving a couple hundred extra bucks a month, I've got myself a 10 second car to cruise around on the weekends. BELIEVE THAT

I didn't mean for a viper though, sorry. I meant more along the lines of a Ferarri...

I see how that works, so we can claim ownership if we have 'timeshare rights' to a vehicle. In that case I think I will buy 2 minutes to sit in G354GOD's car and pay him a whopping $2.00. Then next time I can tell people I "co-own" a TT G35C. Good deal.
Anyone taking timeshare offers for Ferraris or Lambos?
btw: there is no shame in a man driving an automatic sport coupe. My weekend racer Honda Elite SR motorcycle was automatic and it was sporty as hell. Actually it only has one gear, but same difference.
