I guess the real argument is "strong enough"...
For an 1100hp engine the added weight and rigidity would be of benifit, although handling and braking would suffer. Certainly traction is a problem and a heavier car would "plant" better. If your priority is off the line then the extra weight would help. I don't think anyone makes a worse frame than AC did...
"better" is a subjective idea, depends what your intentions are. In this case a dollar figure was thrown out that basically knocks out the higher priced replicas so why discuss the merits of $60k ~ $160k cars?
The fellow stated this was to be something for tooling around town in and wanted something comfortable. (I have no recomendation for this!) The best we can do is steer this fellow away from the shabby mfg's and let him decide what is best for him. (not us)
This is supposed to be a fellowship not a competition, save that for the track.
