Why would anyone buy a Mercedes when they could just buy a Chevy Cobalt? They both have four rubber tires that touch the ground.

I like the Chris Alston stuff but what data do you have that shows it's "lighter, stronger" than the DSE unit?

Do you know the weight of the DSE unit? Really, I'm curious...

Also, what about the revised suspension geometry of the DSE unit looks "stock" to you?
So, do you know the weight of the complete Alston sub? Do you know the weight of the complete DSE sub? Are you just guessing?

Do you have engineering data to show the Alston frame is stronger than the DSE frame? Do you have any geometry data on the DSE frame to show that it's "stock"? Is the stock subframe designed to accomodate a rack and pinion system? Is it designed to accomodate coil over shocks? If not then how can you call the DSE frame stock with a straight face?

If you don't like it or think it's too expensive then don't buy it.. a simple concept than you seem unable to grasp. Stop trying so hard to control other peoples finances.

Ok,

This is exactly what i needed.

So we don't have any specs....Anyone else???

That s exactly reflects the feeling i have, everybody gets all excited because its a DSE part (not to discredit it ok) without even knowing (make that understanding...) what it can bring you!!!

If they start building bridges...'will you all be in line?

Guy's...To all of you in this post let me know PLEASE; Who races their car seriously ???

Come on! Tell me why you NEED this part, what's it gonna change? Except you'll have the 'Latest' toy and less dough in your pockets.

I for one don't race (not professionnally or seriously i'm into street cars)

I didn't make fun of your spelling so you must not really read the other comments very well.. where is that :fu: smilie??

So, what you are saying is that you really don't know **** as far as specs or weights of either subframe and in fact you were just rambling nonsense? (bolded since you seem to have an A.D.D. issue)

Gee, the sub came out on Saturday.. I guess they have had a whole 5 days to "show what thier product can do".. lol..

Who cares who races? Does every person that buys a new Z06 need to be a race car driver to appreciate the engineering and handling of the car?

I don't see why is wrong for people to be excited about a new part and OPTOMISTIC about it's potential. Time will tell if it's a good part or not :shrug:

Dismissing it out of hand is as stupid as declaring it the best in the world.

Please go back and read my Rolex analogy.. some people just want to buy the highest quality stuff they can get. I don't know why this is a tough concept.

G-Body, it really shows no class when you say the things you have been saying. Get in your pinto and ride out of here, comments on both sides of the fence are always a good thing, but yours are just immature and stupid.

I could not agree more.

But at this point, if i understand correctly, all we have on this new product...ARE feelings.

I was typing in the timeframe you posted your last post....This is going fast!

About my racing point. Its just to see if anyone who talks about "Performance" parts know wtf they are talking about. But in the end it still comes down to the driver.

Its ok to want the part just because its (sounds) hot. Just don't (did not read it from you) praise it before you know what it is...Or just because its from a dedicated company. Come on. I can,t understand that...Maybe i'm too poor...
