LOL! That would be kind of funny. It's still a good topic and I appreciate the opinions too.

Thanks to all for your comments/suggestions.
It has had two major effects for me- it has emphasized the importance of roll bars and it has made me question having a vert instead of a coupe

. For me there's nothing like cruisin' with the top down!

! I'm consdering not doing a roll bar to avoid possible problems with selling and swapping the vert for a 97 (pacific green!) coupe for OT's and maybe another daily driver... On the other hand, I have heard GREAT things about CMP and I'm not sure I'd get my act together to have another car ready in time (there's already a 66 Valiant project in the garage). I have been given permission from my car owner to go, so I just gotta go. So, how about a bolt-in 4 pointer- I am assuming a bolt-in would provide sufficient protection, right?

Marc,

You do what you want but if it were me, I'd sell the project car, keep the droptop and get a 94-95 Cobra or GT Coupe for the track. The 94-95's are relatively inexpensive right now and you can still daily drive it to work and bring the ragtop out on nice sunny days.

Just my .02 worth.

And we know someone with a 94' for sale don't we.....???

**cobrabitn** · 12-19-2003, 02:00 PM

Well..... it just looks like it's for sale.

BTW, I was just messing with you on the mailing list.

Yes, a 4-point bolt-in would provide MUCH more protection than nothing. It's not as good as a full cage, of course, but you'll be fine with a 4-point. The best part of the 4-point is that you can take it back out without even knowing it was ever there.

Tony,
The 66 is a project with a mopar ("or no car") buddy- he has the know how and additional parts to make it happen. I was hesitant to embark on a project car on my own... It's his car, my garage and my education.

After you mentioned a 94/95 a while back, I eventually saw (and agreed) with your reasoning. However, there is no green....

I may go for a GT depending on how much work it would need to compare with the 99's handling- seems it would need some work and $- but that's a topic for another thread.
Do you know of anybody selling a 94?

I'll take $0.02, thanks.

**cobrabitn** · 12-19-2003, 11:44 PM

Go to autotrader.com. I just went there and there are several GT's there for reasonable prices.

What is a fair/normal price to have 6 point installed?

hehehe... unfortunatly, I've been cheating and sneaking a dew now and then.

Hey Morath, my offer still stands to anybody that wants help installing a rollbar before the SCMC event. Do you already have one to be installed or are you wanting a custom install?

By the way, nice car. My cousin has the silver version of your car! Sweet!

Morath · 01-05-2004, 06:00 PM

I do not have one to be installed...

I was just inquiring...I'm still not sure if I'm going to have it done or not.

I will get back to you if I do indeed decide to have one installed...

PM me with your prices and suggestions...
