Hi Tenrocca, the windscreen set back is at 55 degrees as per the original, as this gives you better head clearance, however to adjust the angle is easy as the mounting points are set by the builder based on the required angle they wish to achieve, within reason...
The chassis has a very high torsional rigidity (9350Nm+) the plus is because the chassis were designed and testing without being panelled, which adds to the stiffness, and the body is carried over 13 connection points to the chassis and when bonded (if bonded) adds tension to the torsional strain on the chassis, thereby increasing resistance to twisting - increasing torque slightly..
Hopes this information helps.
