Everybody should take a chill pill!!! First of all, I only wanted
advice on where to find a cage... not necessarily somebody's opinion on
whether I should have one or not.
Second, I would not put in a cage if it were only for stock class
autox. I think the weight penalty will pretty much be a wash with the
increase in chassis stiffness. Therefore, the cost of the cage would
determine my d
ecision... i.e. I would not buy one.
Furthermore, just to let you know why I am putting in the cage, it is
for two reasons; safety and rules for road racing. I am planning on
driving several track events this year and would feel better having the
cage. Ad
ditionally, I would like to attend the SCCA driver's school this year
to obtain my competition license. I need a cage for this.
Unfortunately, I can not do any SCCA road racing in the car because of
the 4 wheel drive sy
stem... they are banned!!
In conclusion, I am putting in a cage, and I still need a source for
the cage... any ideas? AutoPower does not make one for our cars.
