Paul,
the chassis weighs in a little over 300lbs and after the first round of torsional tests ,on an early prototype,it has shown well over 8000lbs/deg. minus rollcage. and integral seat bases which will strengthen it even more.

There is also a new extruded backbone/spine which doubles as the coolant/wiring/AC line routing tube....

Paul I am a Brit by the way so I know all about the dogs dangly bits... [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] or even the "muts nuts" [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
