Yup. Anything M and faster. 16.1 harness and 3.2A/1 jacket/pants also.

I'd like to be able to find a commercially-available NHRA-legal 1-3/4"x.083 chrome-moly 6-point roll bar for one of these.

Thanks, Marty.

Looks like there is a pull-down tab where it can be upgraded to 1-3/4"x.083" Chrome-moly tubing for an additional $353 ($575 total).

And I could probably just leave the two short diagonals out, leaving me with a lighter (but still NHRA-legal) 6-point roll bar.

Yes, I'm sure you can fix it by throwing money at it. Still a stupid rule for a high 12 second car.

I cannot disagree with you on that, but it is what it is...

Watson Racing might have a roll bar/cage kit.

Thanks. I took a look.

Watson makes a chrome-moly 6-point bolt-in roll bar, but it's 1-5/8" tubing, so it wouldn't be NHRA legal, and it has a road-race type diagonal within the main hoop, which is unnecessary for this purpose.

Is there a particular reason it has to be chrome moly and not mild steel ?

It doesn't HAVE to be, but this thing would be a little bit of a porker, so saving an extra 20 pounds of steel seems like a good thing to do.

Wow.

This 2015 Ecoboost Mustang with an automatic ran UNDER the K/SA index, hundreds of pounds overweight and stone stock right down to the tires, except for an aftermarket "tune" that picked up 64 horsepower:
