fwiw a new vette has a lot more crash protection than a car designed over 20 years ago and then modified. /offtopic

I guess you need to figure out how a much cage needs to be built to pass NHRA rules and then see if it can be installed in such a way that your head cannot come in contact with it in a crash, and that you can leave the 3 points in place as IIRC it is illegal to drive around with a harness on. Assuming this is a bar with door bars and not a full cage. IMO a full cage has no place on the street. I think we sadly saw the consequences of that not too long ago. Of course your back seats are off limits with a bar of any sort.
