Hope this isn't a repost...

Has anyone with a glass roof taken their Stang to the drag strip or local road course?

If so, any special requirements? (ex: roll cage on sub 14's)

I know some tracks require roll bars on verts if they are below a certain 1/4 mile time... anyone hear or experience something similar w/ the glass roof?

 

Glass roof isn't supposed to be any different than a regular steel roof for NHRA, IIRC. About the same torsional strength for either roof. Although, at some elevated power level, I'd really be nervous about drag racing with a glass roof.

 

Cool!

Thank you!

 

Hey Kandir, is that what your looking into ordering? When the order guide comes out, I'll shoot you a PM and let you know they are posted. If you need a price worked up, let me know.

 

CDC had a CF panel to replace the glass roof on their show/test car. Not sure if they are thinking of releasing it or not though, but it would be pretty cool for a track car.

 

I'm torn between glass roof and shaker 1000 vs. track pack...

I want the brake and suspension upgrades, but I will only take the car to cecil co. & Millville motorsports park maybe 2-3 times a year.

Since it will be a daily driver, I rather have the factory sub and I figure if the glass roof is reasonable, I'll spring for it.

Working in the aftermarket industry, it's easier for me to get suspension parts (Eibach/Ground Force) than a glass roof (CDC)

 

Go for the roof. It just makes the interior of the car seem very unique. Best part of my stang IMO. Its 2 grand though, way overpriced but still too cool to pass up. Make sure you sit in one outside on a sunny day before you decide. The track pack can be ordered with the glass roof I think and the shaker 1000 is easy to beat with aftermarket upgrades. The cost of the shaker 1000 seems even crazier than the roof IMO

 

Jeff
The pictures from Detroit shows the GT/CS with a glass roof. Is this just for show.

 

The Shaker 1000 is CRAP. Go aftermarket man...I want Glass Roof too though. And I want it with the Brembos!

 

Just because the glass roof wasn't available with Track Pack in 2010 doesn't necessarily mean that will still be the case for 2011, does it? I think we'll have to wait until the order bank opens in a week to find out exactly what options are incompatible with other options.

 

I gotcha dude. Totally agree on the options. BTW, have you ever driven the car on Millville's track? I did the SAAC 33 a few years ago and it was a blast!! Its a nice race track!! And Cecil, I have yet to get to it. Every year I try to go to Super Stallions of the Net, something comes up.
