[QUOTE="SlowSVT, post: 11378504, member: 20202"] I hear you on wanting a well-rounded car which are way more fun. To get precise handling you will need to reinforce the flexi Fox chassis and that is more than just adding a roll bar or sub-frames. I've compared the chassis structure of the Fox and Fox-4 chassis and there is quite a bit of difference which is the reason why the fox is so much lighter than the 4. Torsional loads to the chassis is your biggest enemy :cuss: Based on what you’re saying perhaps an IRS may be a viable option. The sub-frame will tie-in and stiffen the back half as long as you beef-up the torque boxes. The IRS adds about 125 lbs but that will help balance the car better and plant the tires. As you stated you have it scaled back to 600 which should take the sting out somewhat (an overabundance of power is not always a good thing). Your car when the dial is turned up must be nothing more the a mechanical paranoid schizophrenic on methamphetamines :uh oh: [/QUOTE]
