Can a roll cage be made streetable? I like the look of roll cages and I may put an agressive motor in one day to race it at the strip, but Ive heard that they are more dangerous on the street because you would not be wearing a helmit and you could possibly hit your head on the roll cage in a roll over. Does any one have a roll cage in their street car?

you could always wrap the tubes in that rollcage padding foam that wraps around. i like the look in a street car aswell, and would rather have a rollcage in a rollover then none. aslong as the bars are paded good, and you could also put in racing harness's to hold you in better. just an idea.
I dont see how they could ticket you for a added safety feature in my opinion. if its really complex cage there would probably be no point for the street, but a simple 6-point shouldent be a problem, i was going to do that in my old cutlass project.
i hate when people say that!! i do not know about you but if i am going to get a ticket the deciding factor probably wont be the roll cage, it will be the 100ft burnout i just left through the intersection. if you get one do not get it from jegs, them cages suck.
I am just thinking how can I explain why i would need a roll cage. its not exactly something you see in every car, they probally would assume Im a street racer. remember I am only 16. allots stereotyping goes on about teens.

Well in that case your age makes you guilty. :lol: But there's nothing illegal about having a roll cage (at least where I live) Just say you bought it with it in there.
just put it in there if you want. and if you do not want the extra attention do not put it in... ya its that simple! and unless you are planning running in the 10,s i dont think you need a cage. this is no fast and the furious crap either, a ten second car is FAST! and most likely really really expensive.
most sanctions require a roll bar (5 or 6 point) at 11.49 or quicker.
Full cage 9.99 and quicker.
Roll bars/cages are not illegal but you insurance co. may not like it.

Cops aren't going to car if you have a roll cage in it nor should they. You can customize your car however you want, but if they catch you speeding than obviously they will pull you over for that, but not because you have a roll cage. If you piss them off I'm sure they will give you a ticket for having a non-stock vehicle, but you would have to really piss them off to get one of those.
