Please don't take my comments as offensive, and I appreciate the response. The point I was trying to get across is that "if" a person does want a really rigid chassis, it can be done without a full frame install. If a person is really concerned about ultimate cornering, etc, then that person should also be very concerned about safety, which would merit a cage. A cage is an easier install than a full frame as I understand the complexity of the full frame install, it is pretty invasive, and as you pointed out, it adds quite a bit of weight to boot.

You will never be able to eliminate torsional rigidity issues, but for the vast majority of folks, the DSE type sfc's are adequate. Hell, my late model 911 has chassis flex, I can feel it easily, but the car still handles extremely well, and flat hauls ass. I feel less chassis flex in my 69 Camaro than I do with that car, by the way.
