Clearly you are unaware that NHRA has waived certain rules for 2008 and up vehicles.
I have to have a rollbar in my GTX to run low 11's but Hellcats are exempt till 9.99
"Unaltered 2008 OEM model year and newer production cars running slower than 9.99 and 135 mph do not have to meet the requirements and specifications for the Summit Racing Series except for the following: Convertibles and T-tops must meet Summit Racing Series Roll Bar and Roll Cage requirements, All drivers must meet the Summit Racing Series Helmet and Protective Clothing requirements.”
Fairly certain if I had to choose i'd rather wreck a 2008+ newer model car on the strip over my own stuff with a rollcage and harnesses. I'd bet I walk away with less injuries.
I'm fairly certain I would rather roll my Arrow at 150 than a Hellcat with no bars.....just my
5.53 @ 125 1/8th on the launch control..more left in her!
