This is very interesting....

Roadster Shop has fabricated a chassis for our cars. Its gotta be stronger than a braced unibody. I wonder how much weight it adds to the car ?



Ou t would make a pretty strong street car....with SLA front suspension and a 9 inch carrier....or a strong drift car. It's got to be a monster in added weight.

Maybe if I were going with a '13+ GT500 drivetrain and had more money than I knew what to do with...

17k for the full tilt boogie version, add I would guess 300 lbs (that maybe conservative) might as well throw in a coyote engine and a six speed. That will eat a hole in the kids inheritance.

My guess this is geared towards serious race applications, and not the hobbyist.

That's a pretty sweet chassis/suspension setup for an ultimate street based car. I don't how that would fit into many racing series rules/ect, interesting option though.

Too many chevy parts on it though for my liking
And they lead off with the Chevy engine mounting options, THEN mention Ford. Meh.

Yeah I noticed that.... and seems like they only offer modular engine mounts and BBF. Smh.

When I hit the lottery I'll buy one and have it installed...

Honestly if I had the cheese to buy a $17k chassis I'd probably stick a coyote motor in there anyway

I think someone could do a mm full tilt track kit with the front suspension of their choice and have money left over for wheels and tires.
