    if you think of it what is wrong with a chassis flexing ,even a high rise building moves or a boeing 747 has wing movement,flex.

    seemed to help... ;)

    hehehe...you guys are having nightmares over this, aren't you?


    let's just clarify.....BB flex...it's bad for a "supercar"...is that better?

    it's bad enough that i wouldn't put in stiffer than standard springs, because much of that would be taken up with MORE flex..and more flex= bad+damage eventually.

    err. no actually... once again, you're dreaming...

    lets just clarify...

    BB's flex.. YES.

    355 flex.. YES.. and a 355 GTS or spider flex WORSE than a BB

    550 flex surprisingly badly.. I think worse than BB.

    F40 flex worse than BB

    F50 barely flex at all.. but still a bit...

    all of the cars flexing doesn't stop them being resposive to up graded road rate springs...

    no.. you said/implied fitting stiffer springs will only make it flex more and not yield any handling gains...

    which is wrong...

    F40's are terribly weak cars chassis/mechanically... just awesome creations...

    sounds like a great idea , imagine the tax break on the interest , never make money , never pay tax . me thinks it's got real legs, only issue could be the insurance but others are doing it now

    anyone can laugh as much as they like....

    I saw them (F40) being built on the production line, I've seen one twisting on the dyno without bodywork, I've been at Michelotto workshop and seen the lengths they went to to reduce flex on the race cars, and I've experienced it myself on many different examples in workshops...

    I stand by the comment.... laugh hard as you like.

    thanks. i wasn't looking for your permission.

    and now you're saying even more funny things.

    sure....for a race car they flex...but compared to a boxer, they're granite. that's what your claim was...compared to a boxer...remember?

    p.s. i LOVE how obsessed you've become about this.

    hilarious. still trying to talk boxers up, hey? yours must be for sale soon.

    first they're as fast as a 355 on the track, and now they have less chassis flex than an F40.

    hmmmm

    what's next, phil, a BB512 would give an enzo a good hurry up, perhaps?

    you're not one to let the truth get in the way of a good story, that's for sure.

    keep the stories coming. all the people i'm showing this to are laughing at you too.

    not obsessed at all.. just telling facts as I've personally experienced them.

    Nope. BB not for sale. Got loads I want to do with it first. maybe in 18 months though.

    Yes, I've beaten many 355's at track days. Maybe it's me, maybe the car...

    chassis flex ... yep, F40 like a 308...only without the minimal panel strength a 308 offers...

    BB/Enzo... idiot

    truth/story... pot/kettle

    laughing... good.... anyone that listens to you deserves a good laugh

    uhuh

    proves my point.

    i'd say definitely you.....and your overactive imagination. i think you're confusing being lapped with keeping up with a 355.

    you're delusional if you think that. we'll wait for the american's to chime in.....it's so easy to make you look stupid....all i have to do is wait for you open your mouth.

    BB/Enzo....yes...you would be an idiot if you made that claim, but it's not more idiotic than some of the others.

    Truth/story...pot/kettle.....i've called you out many times about that, and you never respond. i think that sums it up.

    of course they deserve a good laugh, because i'm showing them something very very funny.

    i thank you for that.
