Steve, the Rolex analogy was a good one.

Years of R&D went into this product and that doesn't happen for free.

Just for the record.. my posts weren't directed at you.. :)

Yea.. but FEELING like it's too expensive is one thing.. declaring that another subframe is "lighter" and "stronger" and has "better geometry" when that person has zero idea of the data is just lame. Just as lame as saying this frame is the best in the world based on "feelings"

Dig?

I don't need this part, but I want it, and here's my reason why -
I'm building a PT car.
And I'm building a PT car cuz I love the looks of the early camaro, firebird, nova, chevelle, cuda and others. But, with a stock front-end most of them handle like either a shopping cart or a tour bus.
I want the best of both worlds; the looks of a early muscle car and the handling of a modern day vette.

I praise it for what it is a this point.. a promising new product turned out by a company known for quality. I praise DSE for spending a boatload of $$$ trying to come out with a product "different" for the other ones on the market and for trying new innovative ideas.

I never said it was "better" or "worse" than any other aftermarket subframe because I have no idea if is. :captain:

Kyle has had one on their test car for a while now and has put some miles on it, they actually drove it to Columbus also. His comments are very positive, he is very picky, if he likes it, it will definately work for me.

Yes he sells them but he would not if it was not good, final answer.

I was also at the Columbus GG and saw their test car. Don't know why but, I love that car.

I questioned Frank (DSE) on how good the fit was. He said they pulled the motor, supported the body and dropped the stock subframe then installed the new subframe. He said there was no need to remove any panels and very little alignment was needed.

When I talked to Kyle he said his goal was a stock look and true bolt in. Guess he achieved his goal.

Once I can afford it, I will buy one. Those of you who disagree with the price need to see it live. In my opinon, It's one the best aftermarket products available. You can tell a lot of thought went into the design.
