Just out of curiosity...my vehicle has intrusion bars...a Ford approved latch and matching catch...bolted securely to the chassis. The 3 bolts (screws actually) holding the catch are pretty small about 6mm / 1/4" so all depends upon these three bolts. On a steel body the door fits into a "socket" so along with the catch the door crushes up against a pressed and folded steel frame which helps in absorbing an impact. Fibreglass frames are stiff but how stiff ? Drive the Cobra like it was a motor bike...be aware and be defensive.
