It's just a car---don't let emotions take over. Sell what you have and get a Cup. There will always be a better/faster/cooler/_________________ car out there.

Mooty, why don't you recommend putting in a full cage w/o stripping the interior? You might not be able to do a full weld in cage, but you can at least do the ClubSport full cage or the like of Safety Devices full cage, for example.

I guess maybe you meant that if one were to go w/ full cage, one should go w/ the welded one?

Victor- I'll make it simple. Strip your bit..h. U done everything else. Both dumbass Mooty and I finally understand for our cars lw is the key to making an already amazing car a real amazing car. Truth be told have u yield the full potential of the car. If not that should really make your decision easy. Cupcar it ain't and professional racers we aren't too- we're weekend warriors looking for fun. Didn't u mod your car for fun? Mike

personally, i CAGE must be welded. any other attachment is not a cage in my book. yes, i know RS ran the 24 hours of ring with club sport cage, but i wasn't driving it

also, if you want to rob a store, dont. go rob a bank. you get more money if you dont get caught. u get the same sentence if you do get caught.

what i mean is if you put in a cage, welded, bolted or whatever, you already ruined the car. might as well ruin it all the way.
