Chassis FEA numbers?

[guitaraholic]

I didn't see it when searching in the forum (maybe I missed it). Is there an FEA analysis on how stiff the chassis (e.g Nm/Deg)?

That's not a bad idea. Whenever there is a discussion about chassis regidity or stiffness translating to performance, there is a diluge of opinions and no outcome. Maybe with the powerful computer resources FFR has with the 818, they can start putting some real numbers together on this aspect of their cars. It sure wouldn't hurt from a marketing perspective. Like: we've got the stiffest chassis in the kit car industry and here are the numbers to prove it. Just got a chill down my neck thinking about Finite Math! WEK.

Kit car manufactures are stepping up their game. Here are some examples

SLC - 24,000 NM/Deg (35,000 with racing roll cage)
Ultima - 24500 NM/Deg (updated Chassis)

The GTM I believe is around 10,000 NM/Deg

I hope they put more consideration for chassis rigidity with design of the 818

The New Ultima Chassis, pretty nice, as in nice and stiff
