Default Update to "Best Rollbars" -- NHRA LEGAL

The NHRA rulebook states "All vehicles with OEM frame must have roll bar welded or bolted to frame".

To my most recent knowledge, this rollbar is the ONLY one that conforms to the rules.
Regardless of claims by other manufacturers, if it doesn't attach to the frame, it's not legal.

Can we see some pics of the door
bar with door closed? I want to see how well the door bars conform to the shape of
the door.

I can verify the side bar will pinch your fingers severely if you grab the wrong part of the door handle to close it and you'll only do that once.

Z06 also.

The blocks for the Z06 that the rest of the rollbar bolts to, are machined from 6061-T6 aluminum, so they can be welded to the Z06 frame. The bolt holes have stainless steel helicoil inserts to avoid galling and seizing from multiple installs and removals.

Out of curiosity, are you doing a C5 version at all? I have a friend who's very interested.
