Question about rollbar/rollcage

68Coupe · 01-11-2021, 02:22 PM

My car currently has an 8 point roll bar. I only run 1/8th mile only. The car ran 6.70's for about 10 years. I built a new engine last year and it ran mid 6.40's to low 6.50's during the year from cool to hot air.
So ET wise it doesn't require a roll cage. But i have been thinking about having one installed.
My question is even though it doesn't need one are there any advantages to put a cage in, are there any disadvantages. Just try to figure out if its worth the money or should I just keep running what I have.
If it matters have no plans in going any faster anytime in the future. Also have owned the car for 20 years and there is zero chance i will ever sell if that is a factor.
