Tob made the point, and, like you mentioned, did a much better job of it than my self  |
Only an automotive neophyte would consider a
10% increase in chassis stiffness as "
insignificant". While that may NOT increase the ability to turn a faster "hero lap", it DOES
dramatically increase the likelihood of repeatability,
lap-after-lap-after-lap, which is the
raison d'etre of such a necessity being present in the BOSS LS. And I'm sure your pal Ravin' can confirm what "10%" actually accrues...
As to Tob's clarification, via author Donald Farr (respected since his days at Dobbs Publishing, where I also freelanced...), it was susinct and to the point. Something noteworthy to budding auto enthusiasts
and young forum friends everywhere.
