I'm fairly sure this Mustang guy planned a non-rollover crash too ...

As I understand it, both driver and passenger survived:



I should make it clear that this image is to illustrate the risk and does not suggest that the BK "truss" was in this car (I don't think it was) or that the BK product would necessarily have contributed to the injury or death of the occupants (that's just my opinion.)

Yessir... here's a few with the "just released" 5hp stickon
I know those stickers add 5hp at the ground -- that's been proven in numerous screaming burnouts -- but how much do they add to the curb weight? : )

That car had a roll bar of sorts - more like a roll hoop that punched right through the floor panels. There are some other pictures out there that show details. Pretty scary incident - I know that corner and never thought about going up and over the tires like that.

Seats do have hole for sub belts, sub belt is hidden under front of seat cushion when not at the track.

Correct! The difference between the 07-08 and 2010s is that there's no hole pre-set for the eye-bolts if you will in the floor pan

PS Have fun on the road
