I'm actually serious for once, not trying to be a smart ass. Really...

My question is how stiff does the frame get when it's all finished, do you get much twist when driving? I've no idea how stiff an essentially ladder frame car is, sorry I've only experience with monocoque stuff.

I think BMW are up to 3 metric tons to twist a new 7 series 1 degree, any idea how your stiff your chassis will be, I wonder if solidworks can figure it out?
I know this isn't supposed to be a luxury motor but it would be interesting to compare. Especially when you fit a blown coyote mill in it. It wasn't a negative comment originally, i was just genuinely interested.
