10's in a crossfire - insane
Respect from SRT6 owners - deserved
6K for nitrous R&D by MDSRT6- priceless
From the NHRA website:
"
A roll bar is required in any convertible running 13.49 seconds or quicker in the quarter mile, and in other cars beginning at 11.49.
The roll bar is accepted in vehicles running as quick as 10.00 second e.t., provided the stock firewall and floorboard is intact, other than for installation of wheel tubs.
If the floor and/or firewall has been modified, then a full roll cage is required beginning at a 10.99 e.t. A full roll cage is required in any vehicle running 9.99 seconds or quicker, and any vehicle running 135 mph or faster (regardless of e.t.) ."
As long as you stay on the slow side of 135 mph, a roll bar would be enough until 9.99
