    it only took two dealerships to find someone looking to sell me a car. first dealership just pretty much laughed at me and said forget it---they didn't have the car i wanted and wanted $10k over msrp for a black edition---no thanks.

     

    the second dealership, located the car i wanted, made all the arrangments, and basically things went off without a hitch.

  17. New rules- NHRA Amends Roll Bar/Cage Rules For ’08-Later Street Vehicle

    and most Definitely void the warranty on it too

     

    Roll bar does not void a warranty!!!!

     

    In order for the manufacturer to deny a warranty claim the would have to prove that what you changed affected/caused the failure with the other part. Adding a roll bar did not cause my motor to blow up! Adding a roll bar did not cause my 6disc cd player to fail. Adding a roll bar did not cause my windshield wipers to quit working.

    This just in...NEW NHRA RULE FOR 2008 AND NEWER VEHICLES...NHRA recently amended the roll bar rule for street legal vehicles. Model year 2008 and newer unaltered, OEM production vehicles running slower than 9.99 seconds and under 135 MPH do not have to meet the roll bar requirements for ET racing. This is great news for 'Stangbangers who have had to slow down or stop racing entirely because of the 11.49 e.t. rule. Some restrictions still remain, however. All drivers must meet the Helmet and Protective Clothing requirements. Convertibles and T-Top entries must still comply with the current NHRA roll bar rule.

     

    __________________________________________

     

    The NHRA’s annual round of rule amendments to be included in the 2013 rulebook include a wide range of changes across every category in the sport, but one in particular is of rather great significance to street legal drag racers and the enthusiast community as a whole.

     

    Recognizing the safety-inspired design and construction of today’s late model vehicles, the NHRA has actually rescinded its previous guidelines for street vehicles running 9.99 to 11.49 that required the use of a roll cage or roll bar, now permitting unaltered, 2008 and later model hard top vehicles to compete as they come from the factory without the addition of said roll bar/cage. The amendment, as its phrased in the NHRA’s 2012 to 2013 amendment document states:

     

    NHRA DRAGS: STREET LEGAL STYLE PRESENTED BY AAA (Page xiv) (5th paragraph)

    Additionally Requirements and specifications for Street Legal are the same as those for the Summit Racing Series with the following exception: 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.”

     

    This amendment is in fact a huge boon to the enthusiast community that’s been driven away from organized racing at NHRA member tracks in the past due to the costs of making their vehicles legal to compete. Cars like the 2013 GT500 Mustang and the Corvette ZR1 are capable of surpassing the 11.50 mark right off the showroom floor. We’ve yet to conclude the exact meaning behind the wording “unaltered” in the text and whether that refers to the vehicle frame or the existence of power adders and the iike.

     

    These racers who previously had to slow their vehicles down or not show up at a track at all are now able to compete without the modifying their expensive factory cars, and regardless of who this new rule applies to and who it doesn’t, it certainly opens some racers up to visit a race track again.
