    Having raced in the day when gassers were still in favor and a hands on fan for much longer b4 that. Few if any had those things working for them. It is really on full show cars, fully caged(rare) or only in the last 25 years that those things became important. No car will stand up to wheelstands or even lifting to the suspensions limit w/o throwing the body off kilter. I do not know how many cars I saw the deck lids lift or doors pop open on launches until pins or positive locks were the norm..So a car with those "flaws" do not bother me much, but then I never chased trophy's anyway. I was/am more of a driving /pounding car owner. Spending hours getting a car level and gaps even is pointless in that situation. It will change w the first hard launch and keep changing. Tho an S10 chasis will stand up to MUCH better than those old spindley ladder chassis and a PU body will have much less of an issue w twisting as well.
