That is correct. They all flex. With or without an Engman kit, Meyuer clamshells, welded metal 916 roof, full cage, half cage, no cage, you name it.

It's all a matter of degree. But, obviously, some flex more than others! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

If you can't measure the deflection (all steel car bodies deflect), then either you don't know how to measure it, or your measuring equipment isn't precise enough.

I thought 31% seemed high maybe just a bit of denial going on here.... or 1/3 of all cars are race cars?
BTW the pole was with the jack on the rear donut and both wheels lifted off the ground.

I can't see any flex in mine, the 12 point cage doesn't hurt things either...
