Space frame chassis vs. Perimeter frame
I've searched around and didn't find any real discussion on space frame chassis as a viable option for a pro touring build (especially uni body vehicle). It seems just about every build thread I see where there has been a significant amount of thought and effort put into fabricating a custom chassis is based on some sort of variation of a perimeter frame with a roll cage. I assume this is due to a number of reasons. Note, im not talking about installation of aftermarket solutions. Rather I am referring to the custom one off builds.
To paint a picture, think about professional road race chassis and high end kit car chassis. A good example is anything from factory five racing. The overall design of these chassis are significantly different from what we see with just about all pro touring cars. Do you feel it would be a viable option to deviated from the rectangular tube parallel frame rail plus a roll cage configurations we see and fabricate a chassis much more like a tubular (square tube) space frame?
I'm curious to hear your thoughts.
