Let me know what you think. I drove the car 200 miles this weekend plus two dyno sessions and one trip to the track, strapped in and snug. I love this thing. Chassis is stiffened up and the total added weight was maybe 70 lbs. Cost? If you want it in chromemoly it is not cheap. About $1200 total installed cost, including the harnesses.
But I can go to an NHRA track now!! Where the air is a little denser.
Here is a still of the test run last Friday night. Peak stresses in the seat stays of the new bar, LOL.

Here is what the roll bar is good for, stiffening up the chassis on launch. Here is a video, short form version, about 1 meg.

And here is the full run, if you are interested, and have a high speed internet connection, 7 megs.
