Haha - fair enough Richard - not trying to get at your product - but we are a long way from America here, and I know this car handles extremely well.

I know the JBL looks like a Cobra - but I know Ant, and he is pretty particular about the originality aspect of what he does.

Suspension wise - I am sure your rocker design is superior, I have no argument at all about that. But I am also sure that a double a-arm arrangement can be made to handle to a very similar standard.

Also - the weight of the car I am talking about I believe is lighter than you list on your web site. It was made as a race car, with very little road car tendency.

I am not sure about the torsional rigitidy, you would be able to comment on this - how does a spaceframe weigh up against a chassis such as yours? Maybe yours is much stronger - tell us?

By the way - the car I am recommending Ant looks at is a 302 Ford small block, so I believe that is smaller than than the 351 you suggest.

Sorry to tread on your toes - I am sure you know far more about suspension than I ever will - just trying to give Ant an alternative to weigh up against your cars.
