S197 Chassis Stiffening Needed?

[Chim-Chim]

Saleen supercharged at 9.5 PSI (about 450 rwhp).

Very nice. Is this on the stock internals? Do you ever have heat soak issues?

Hey Cheyne does your car have a roll cage? You do know that a roll cage is the most efficient way of stiffening a cars chassis. A roll cage can double or triple the chassis stiffness far far more than anything else you can do under the car or to the car on any car.

This is true 99% of the time.

The reasoning is pretty simple; the cross (side to side) connection is what provides the more efficient stiffening. And more importantly, the rise/run of the roll bar/cage. Unfortunately, you cannot achieve varying height of the support bracing underneath the car, without cutting large holes through the chassis and/or floorboard. lol

Not on stock internals. Too many heat soak issues to discuss here.

Maybe i just watch too much top gear, but im a firm believer that my mustang will be outhandled by the M3 (or whatever) next to me no question. Its a totally different car. How could it not? But anyway, thats an off topic debate. Im not bashing. Im glad to see how competative mustangs are on the track.

Top gear should be viewed for entertainment value only.
