Eric,

I have yet to drive one, but I have been interested in the Alterds more than the other pipe racks.

Couple things to consider, even outside of will the cage fit me, etc...Re-sale value, suspended vs. rigid, overall length, Front brakes, etc....I have been wanting to try an Altered, but after watching some of those, they can be more than a handful. Obviously, a rail will be much more stable. I agree with the rest, try one, then decide.

For me to consider one, it would have to be suspended, have front brakes and a regular wheel. Its a tall order, hence I stay with a door car. Heck most people don't take a second look at the a the dragsters or Altereds, so I guess its all in the eye's of the beholder and what your goals are.
