also before calling a chassis the ultimate, do you know anything other then parts about it? ie, camber gain, initial camber adjust ability,caster, caster adjust ability, bump steer? these things should be known in a properly designed chassis.
goodluck

Actually the CAR chassis you can run 315's with an excellent lock to lock with the stock body.

Ty, I'm not sure where you are going with this? I think you're a lot like me in wanting a bad ass car that can out handle a vette. Problem is, there is a lot of subs to choose from that will get you close if not right there. DSE, Art's and CAR's chassis will all get you to where you want to go, it's just how much do you want to spend? You also have to design the rest of your car around the chassis to get your desired effect. How bad ass do you want your car to be with the amount of money you are willing to throw at it? CAR's chassis may be the very best for the track, but do you really need it? Even Kevin will tell you this. If this is just a street car, most other high end subs will be just fine as long as the builders know what they are doing. Also, like Jonny said, you might want to take some driving classes to fully learn how to drive a 3500 pond car with a good chassis at the limit. This of course is not knowing your driving skill.
