With the benefit of hindsight which we are all blessed with but seldom use, applying the extra framework & tubing that the Daytona & or Flip Top had in their respective chassis makes the original two 3.00" dia tube setup into a much stiffer platform on which to build the car. Knowing this now, I often wonder if the change to larger dia tube used in the later 427 chassis was really necessary, or just the easy way out at the time..yep, I know the coil spring/w/bone helped to, but being a bit of a Daytona Coupe fan, these cars made a huge leap over the roadster which is often credited to the body shape, but the extra chassis stiffness also played a large part in this. Race track speed comes from the whole package, not just from one area.
