Front and rear windshields made from glass not lexan

Suspension bushings not rod ends

A street car shouldn't need the same amount of braided line necessary to plumb a space shuttle


I was understanding of your point up until I read these lines.

To me, this is safety. To me, braided line is a safety feature. Running FI with non-braided line just seems a bit underwhelming in my opinion.

Safety is priority #1 and these items to mentioned are all safety related. If someone wants to use rod ends because they are stronger, ergo; more safe. Then by all means, go for it.

A 4 pt cage might be "enough", but if a guy wants to be more safe, who am I to tell them differently? Safety is not an item I think you can casually mandate at a bare minimum level.

$.02 given.
