NHRA specs call for a roll bar on any car running 11.99 or quicker which many tracks don't enforce or they wouldn't see a lot of the street cars available nowadays. If it's a convertible, it's 12.99. Obviously, these specs were implemented when 11 second factory stock cars didn't exist.
Expect to pay a hefty price for installation in your Benz if you can even find a reputable company to do it. Many race shops will not install roll bars or cages in street legal cars for liability reasons. If your not wearing a helmet and a harness and crash on the street with a roll bar, chances are the roll bar will cause more injuries than it will prevent.
As for bolting it in and out...forget it. Each "point" of the bar MUST be bolted to 6" x 6" plates sandwiching the floor with a minnimum of four 3/8" grade 8 bolts. Also, how do you propose to get a welded roll bar though the door? YOU CAN'T BOLT THE TUBES TOGETHER. LMAO!
My company has installed hundreds of roll bars in the past 25 years. WE WILL NOT EVEN CONSIDER PUTTING ONE IN A STREET CAR.
The whole issue is a real problem for the NHRA Their current rules prevent most all of today's high performance cars from legally going down the track.

A roll bar is required in any convertible running 13.49 seconds or quicker in the quarter mile, and in other cars beginning at 11.49. The roll bar is accepted in vehicles running as quick as 10.00 second e.t., provided the stock firewall and floorboard is intact, other than for installation of wheel tubs. The rollbar must be constructed of minimum 1 ¾ inch o.d. x .118 inch wall mild steel tubing, or 1 ¾ x .083 chrome moly tubing,"

WOW, amazing times Jody! Sick car and awesome driving bro! I hope to make it out to e-town sometime and see your car run.
PS: We gotta do some runs in Mexico. I think that'd be a big hit on these forums and on YouTube

I don't think you tube likes me anymore after the Incident of my 55. If I run somewhere, it will have to be in closed environment, with officials and nothing illegal or somewhere in Mexico....
