re: cage weight etc - the extra chassis stiffness (not to mention safety) is well worth it...

Actually with the glass removed and everything it might even out or even weigh less (57 lbs is jus thte doors assembly not everything else), but keep in mind that now my whole cockpit is safer for me in an event of rollover and also the chassis will be even stiffer than before Sometimes you have to cut weight and add weight where it will benefit you and your car performance wise. You have to think farther ahead than that

But if you get T-Boned,youll be picking CF shrouds out of your but for months..Might be very dangerous..Be carefull and post pics of the cage when you get them,right now I only have a 4pt but want to go to 6.

I guess that it is possible that I may be tboned at the track, but it is very unlikely. I will definitely post pics
