So, I happen across americaninternationalracing.com and the gears in the noggin start turning. Firstly I do not want to do this. Not on my current car anyway. But I can't help but think what if. Maybe have the rear section be completely removable or both for that matter. simple maintenance and light weight being the end result.
Without going into details of chassis design and recommending a good read, has anyone done anything like this. How much weight could really be lost and retain driver status. In all just had to air the craziness floating around here and looking for a lil support(insert appropriate smilies here)..... Attached image(s)

There are a bunch of tube frame cars.
There are also a bunch of Fiberglass and CF skinning options, which can be used on a tube frame car - or not. Once you go full tube frame and FG skin, though, you are generally also a full out race car, with other goodies that make it non-streetable. As they say, however: with enough time and money, anything is possible. Zach |
