Reply to "chassis rigidity systems"

I have always wanted to build a full race pantera where I would build a full roll cage and tie the frond end all the way back to the rear. Maybe one day in the near future (when the economy recovers). I always am envious when I see projects like that moving forward.
When we installed the rigidity kit on my blue car, I noticed a difference in my lap times. I was also running slicks, but noticed almost a 1-1.5 seconds improvement per lap very consistantly. We had installed the 4 point roll bar near the same time, but I don't remember if that also had been done before we took it back to the track. I don't think we did anything else to the car as far as tuning or anything and weather was almost identical. It is always possible that maybe a small difference in alignment took place, but I really don't know. But I have always felt like the car handled and stuck to the track better after we installed the rigidity kit. And I know that the stress cracks never got any worse. Where before you would see them get longer everyday after an track day.
