southern gt40 vs Lister bell Chassis
Discussion
im interested in these 2 great replicas
in terms of the chassis design, the Lister bell seems substantial in terms of rigidity and safety, especially with the full integral cage
while im leaning more towards the Gt40, im more concerned regarding the chassis. seems difficult to have a full cage, and standard chassis lacking side protection etc.
Plan is a road/trackday weapon
thoughts please

I agree with u about cage. I have sat in a lister b and the shape of the roofline means the cage is practically touching your head
I have had a mantula and the gt40 spaceframe is very substantial in comparison with what looks like significant triagulation
Ofcourse these cars are never as safe as a modern and im used to low volume.. Just with 400-500 hp im Trying to weigh up any negatives to the gt40 chassis. I do beleive they have optimised the design compared to previous incarnations though, in terms of both strength and suspension design
