I think the DSE subframe and the DSE sub frame connectors give the car a good feel and has been stiff enough for everything I do. The "Cage" is good enough to find the body if I crash it hard. I'm fairly sure if I have a big crash in one of these cars it will not be good.

If you are worried about safety buy a new car. Way safer. I have crashed both, and a new Camaro is way better in a crash than a 1969 Camaro.

Not a Camaro but you get the idea.

Thanks Mark - not really concerned about it as a safety issue, mostly just interested in the improvement in performance/chassis rigidity. I noticed that a few of your more recent builds seem to skip a full cage and instead have just a roll bar. Was curious if the full cage cars feel better on track.
