Before I bought my convertible sc, I found some data showing how a rollover in a Mustang was very unlikely. A few minutes on Google should uncover such info. That's the good news.
I also recall hearing that the Mustang's A-pillars are reinforced to withstand the car's weight in a rollover. Of course, the bad news is that sometimes, the A-pillars just won't hold up: http://www.mustangforums.com/m_2220418/tm.htm
After I saw the above thread, I looked for aftermarket rollbars and found nothing (short of roll cages more suited for track use).

What you see on most verts with the "Speedster" package is a decorative light bar, which is nearly always referred to as a "roll bar". Make no mistake, those things are purely decorative and have no rollover protection value
Unfortunately thats the price we pay for owning a vert. Unless of course you want to fab up a 4 point cage like casey mentioned.

wow....i never knew that! so doesn't that mean that you're limited at most quarter mile tracks because you don't have the 4 point roll bar?

rollover protection - 
The only thing I know of is installing a 4 point roll bar.
