Autoform is pretty much the standard.
www.partsrack.com sells them.
Do a search for autoform roll bar on the forums. I'll bet that some pictures pop up.
Yep.
Here's another clip from a different race. The commentator keeps saying "you can't pass in that section of the track" but when they keep passing anyway, he concludes that "nobody must have told the drivers you can't pass there."
Good fun! More real racing in this 10 minute clip than...
Here is a fun clip of some Comp Coupes in action in the FIA GT3 series.
Looks like an interesting racing series. Kind of like the Speed World Challenge, except with Ferrari F430s instead of Cadilacs.

They make PS2s in 335/18 now. I don't think that they are on the Tirerack website yet. Call Jon B at partsrack. He set me up with a brand new set of PS2s.
I noticed that Kumho has some of their V710 competition tires in 18 inch Viper sizes (345/35/18, and 305/30/18) listed on their web site.

Has anyone had a chance to test these tires?
There's no way I would go to all the trouble and expense to take my Viper to Europe and not drive at the Ring.
Driving the Ring would be the main reason I would do it.
There are some folks on the board with over the top 3000+ watt stereo systems.
What did you have to do to your car to support that sort of wattage?
Did you upgrade your alternator? Fill your car with extra batteries?
It can't be as easy as just wiring in lots of amplifiers I would imagine.
Can you explain a bit more about the logistics of this project?
Where were the cf panels fabricated?
What was the cost of the bodywork?
Any word yet on weight savings?
Evans coolant is a non-aqueous coolant. It has a much higher boiling point than water based coolants.

I'm putting it in my new engine, but I have no experience with it yet.
Update.
Thanks to Jon B at Parts Rack, I now have my new SSR wheels and PS2 tires.
I will post driving impressions when I get a chance to drive my car. (supposedly ready by October 18th.)
I've been to a number of open track days with Ford GTs. During summer months, they have never been able to stay out for a full 20 minute session because they would overheat.
Cups are quite sensitive to air pressure. Is it possible that your pressures were too high? I found that if I keep the Cups in the correct pressure range, that they grip very well, and that their grip lasts longer than other race/performance tires I've used.
I have the SmartTire pressure monitoring system installed on my car.
It tells me the pressure and temperature of all 4 tires, and alerts me if the temperatures go too high or the pressures go too low. It's not perfect (has some issues at high speeds), but I like it. Even with non-runflats...
Like others here, I think that the MovIT guy is full of it.
The only brakes I would think that would be an upgrade to the stock SRT-10 brakes would be ceramics. Unless the MovIT guy is selling full ceramic rotors, his brakes are likely worse than stock.
I don't know of anyone who makes...
Anything made by Rocky Mountain Radar is crap.
Their products do not work. The company makes fraudulent claims.
Save your money. Buy something from a reputable company like Escort, Valentine, Bell, etc.
Has anyone ever seen reusable plastic crates that you can use to ship wheels? I've seen such things for shipping engines, but not wheels.
It would be nice to have some, so I could ship spare wheels/tires to tracks in distant places, and not have to worry about bubble wrap and cardboard.
