Hey Rats, I think you hit the nail on the head, I agree. But about the aluminum frame. To reproduce an accurate Cobra chassis in aluminum, the tubing walls would of course have to be much thicker. So much thicker that the aluminum chassis probably wouldn't weigh much less than the steel chassis. I believe the only way the aluminum chassis would weigh substantialy less if it were made into a space frame.
