Close but it is the reason you are no longer Lava.
Doing that test with a carbon fiber hood, trunk lid and especially roof means that your car is not going to have the same flex as all stock body.

Giving the areas that were breaking MORE flexibility was likely more difficult that restricting their movement by adding the bracing to other areas.

As a weight savings feature, buy them and don't bother installing.

LOL - I was tempted to bring that up, but decided not to...glad I wasn't the only one who was impressed. Clearly, weakening the chassis so that it flops around more is far more difficult than designing it to resist flex.. |

No one said weakening anything. I said adding engineered and tunable flex points.
Rigidity=/=strength. |

While not really the same at all, a case in point.
A year or so ago Red Bull's F1 team (I think it was RB) got in trouble for having a front wing that deflected at speed. They designed it to flex a certain way so it reduced drag at high speed, but once the car/airflow slowed down it'd return to its normal high downforce shape. And from what I've read, in some circumstances (very few) you can actually be too stiff. Take with a grain of salt, but seems plausible. Mainly at least to my understanding, it really only happens when you cant adjust the suspension to compensate for the extra stiffness. IE: have to use some sort of spec suspension. http://www.hotrod.com/articles/chass...rigidity-flex/ |

Very few times will you want the chassis to be softer, only once have I worked with a race car that needed braces removed. That was a NASCAR cup car, during the coil bind era, and when coil bound, the compliance had to come from someplace else, which is the chassis.
