Al, just checked my profile shot of your car... it definitely leans forward :D

 

You know...I looked at my car from the side a few weeks ago and Yes, it does cant forward a bit. Though not as much as some of these others appear to in pix...could be the angle that emphasizes/de-emphasizes the lean.

 

BTW, I'm swapping my current bar out for the Caged FIA thing, if anyone feels like buying it.

Old vs. new rollbars, or why my Jill Judd top fits less well now....

This is the old bar on the car as I bought it. (dig the rear exit, silver exhaust guard, and aeroscreen!)

This is the new FIA bar (by Caged, not Arch) that is on the car now...photo taken at NY Autoshow.

 

Pretty big difference in the forward cant of the bar. At least 2 inches...look at the gap to the seat. A caveat for all people who have a top that fits a particular bar...may not work for a different spec, even if they are both "factory" products. My JJ top works, but it certainly isn't perfect.

Funny, since I never track my car. I also figure most accidents will result in death I removed my rollbar last week for a more period look. Of course this picture is from Sunday...http://www.usa7s.org/aspnetforum/upload/95418754_101_0911.JPG

 

Oh also this me on Sunday (boss' car)
