Internet Forum Debate Over - We finally have pictorial evidence that Bolt-in cages can fail, catastrophically.






Found these photos of a 5.0 Mustang and Super Fords Magazine's December 2009 cover car leaping over the fence at the Hallet Circuit in Oklahoma. Surprisingly the real story isn't that a car with a ton of brake and suspension mods apparently can't slow-down or turn, it's that as we have been cautioned about multiple internet forums, bolt-in roll bars may in fact punch through the floor of the car in a roll-over crash. In this case it was 10 inches of an Autopower bar that came through on both sides of the car.

So before your next flame-baiting knock down drag out fight on this forum poisoning topic, remember these photos and have some plates welded to the bottom of your bolt-in roll bar.
