ok im not saying im a roll cage expert in any way, but in cases of a frontal impact wouldnt most of the energy be transferred to the cage. in doing this wouldnt it greatly damage the body. im just saying i dont think its necesary (sp) nor look good.
im no expert either but i have seen quite a few different cage setups in friends cars and even closely examined tube chassis and top level NHRA cars and a majority of them run the front cage bars into the engine bay and the chassis. i dont believe your actually seeing the roll cage attached to the body but actually the chassis itself. running it like that helps stiffen it up in case of an accident preventing extra collapse. and im pretty sure at certain bracket levels your required to have that level of a cage at a minimum
