I lifted on the throttle and the pantera with little effort by me straightened itself out. </div><div><br></div><div>The drop had pushed the trans to neutral which may have saved my ass as I did not reach down to put it back in gear until I had slowed down considerably. And finished the run but afterwards at the finish line Erik Belter pointed out my two rear quarter panels were bent basdly….Somewhere i have that photo. </div><div><span style="font-size:-webkit-xxx-large">😜</span><br></div><div><br></div><div>MD</div><div><br></div><div><br><div><br><br><div dir="ltr">Sent from my iPhone</div><div dir="ltr"><br><blockquote type="cite">On Sep 26, 2023, at 9:16 AM, David Carpenter <davecarp80138@outlook.com> wrote:<br><br></blockquote></div><blockquote type="cite"><div dir="ltr">

<div dir="ltr">Mark, it is an excellent idea for any car at speed. And I will recommend to anyone planning to go fast. </div>
<div dir="ltr"><br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">But having said that there is no way am I putting a cage in the C8. Will be happy to run at slower speeds. Also have looked at photographs of many C6, 7 and 8 roll overs and the added reinforcement on A & B pillars did not collapse. Perfect example
was the driver of the C6. She cart wheeled and rolled yet neither A or B pillars collapsed. I also got several other examples from Ken Rees who averaged 155 last Sunday in a C7. Ken had a conversation with a factory engineer who would only say the C8 and
Z06 both have improved strength on A and B pillars which the C6 and C7 do not have.....or what GM calls 'enhanced' additional strength but no one at GM is going to say they are as good as a roll cage because they are NOT.</div>
