Too bad those Tenzo R seats would fold you over soooo quick in a crash. Youd be more screwed in that car than just a stock Solara.

Why cage a car unless you need it? I can see if it were a dedicated track car... But a daily driver with a cage would just suck ass.

if i remember right seats are suppost to fold down in a crash.. to prevent u from having your head pushed down inside you neck... same reason why nasa & ncca instructors wont ride with you if you have them...

folding down isint bad but folding into you is...

Uhhh... wow talk about not making sense. Somehow, I would think that if I was going to cage a car, it would be stripped naked and used only for track days. Wonder what this guy’s logic was?

Some guys just have so much money and nothing to do with it.
There is a local drag track here that has requirements. If your car can do a 1/4 mile in under 10.99, they require a cage.
I don't think an I4 can produce that kind of power.

What if the car does 10.99 seconds, but the additional weight of the cage knocks it up to 11.00? :-P

What if you were in your car, traveling at the speed of light. Then, you turn your lights on. Will they do anything?
