Like others said above the cage is NOTHING like a drag cage. All those cages will fail instantly at Lemons. Head clearance is an issue but can be done by dropping the seat and bending the cage upwards a bit into the T-top area.
What race are you guys looking to run in?
We wondered on this, since we are caging a 4th gen and would like it to live outside between races, how is corner and rear visibility with the dropped seat? On our Saturn (RIP) it was not an issue and the front cowl height seems fine on the 4th gen but rear deck is friggin high! You use truck mirrors or is it not as bad as it seems?
It's not terrible. Our short guys use a booster seat as they have a bit more head clearance. We also put a rest view camera in which I like, but other guys aren't really used to it. We have the stock side mirrors and a wink rear view.
We were next to you at the spring Gingerman with our Jag, but I think there may be a decent chance I bring my Firebird for the 19 race there. Possibly just leave it there too so I don't have to transport it from NJ anymore. We went to aftermarket for calipers, but will reach out to you if I do the C5 brakes. It needs some love before the next race.
