    My point is noone has put a frame on the shacker to find out. All this is was some kid could see his B pillar because the door opens and his Butt dyno told him it was stiffer than the 2dr. :roll:

      And the point is moot,

        Well, if anything, it was probably easier to install the roll cage. I don't see why you think he should have got a 2-door though, the chassis weight is nearly identical.

            I know where one is sitting unclaimed in the corner of a car storage building. Maybe I should claim it?

              But it's not identical, the 2 door is lighter, serious racing folks spend stupid amounts of money to shed just a few pounds.

              I'm guessing it's more " he found a four door so that's what I'm using"

                    nice, but i was speaking only for myself. i specifically chose a sedan for the back windows thing. not to mention cooper access. me rove you rong time piney! =p

                    for the other poster, if they are heavier, dont you think the extra metal might make them stiffer?

                              I'll donate this throttle clip. It is essentially a fancy bent paper clip. $16+

                              35 40 1 165 393

                              I refuse to pay that. So I took a paper clip and made my own. No joke.
