Is there aTrack acceptable roll bar for the Convertible GT500?

[PILOTJPW1]

We sold a soft top Gt500 to a guy who wants to drag it, Is there a bar tracks will accept with out butchering up the car to much?

If he would have told us this first I would have tried to steer him to the hardtop.
Thanks for the help.

You will probably get a better answer if you ask on the Shelby forum:

There are options, one from CoolTech (one of our Ford GT accessory suppliers). It is described as a Boss302 kit but might work but would also require a rear-seat delete kit. Ultimately it will depend on the inspector if he lets it go by. Maybe someone here has tried it but like I said I think the guys over at Team Shelby will probably have more experience.

I dragged my Shelby GT/SC at Bandimere, and with a 13.6 I had to have a helmet and fire jacket (not suit). I was told below 13.0 and I'd need a fully functional 4 point roll bar, but don't know picky they get about permanently installed vs. bolt in.

Your customer should not cut corners on a roll bar when drag racing a convertible.
