Yes, full cage. Go through this thread and most of your questions should find an answer: N E W Superlight cars from R.C.R

You know, Maui to Harrisburg (Carlisle) is probably only a 12 hour trip!
You could see one in person with a 700HP LS7 if you drop by Carlisle this weekend.
700HP, can you imagine?!

Full cage, made out of DOM CNC bent seamless steel tubing, TIG welded.
As an optional extra you can also get removeable side bars for track.
I expect full photos will be released after Carlisle. Including photos with body removed so you can see the detail in the chassis, roll cage and suspension.
I can't wait to get one of these cars out here to Aus. It will literally blow peoples minds. | |

700HP, can you imagine?! | Mark, what 700hp?, huh?
I believe it's "only" in the 630hp range.....but, what's 70hp between friends anyway. | |

The fuel tank is low in the triangle section created by the slope of the seats in front of the engine. | |

Fran,
Some track events require side window removal. Would that work with the Coupe?
