Maybe it's because this is a one off frame right now, with no real world testing. I think subconciously that makes people immediately stay away from it, and to go with what they know works. It might also be the fear of the unknown. There are plenty different chassis designs out there, but nobody makes a chassis that's constructed out of many pieces of billet aluminum bolted together. That may scare people. The car might perfom better than any chassis in the world, but with no testing behind it (stress, vibration, longevity, and salt spray testing), I doubt anyone would put one under thier ass.

Besides, that chassis is starting to look like a billet Corvette chassis .

Oh and BTW Jamo, FFR's frames look just like your Kirkham frame (dual 4" round tube)
I put the bold signal in the wrong place...oh well.

I think folks see the truth in the billet chassis, and I'm betting it would be muy goodo. It just seems like putting a new heart in an old guy...sometimes the result can be, shall we say, a different animal entirely.
