How is the chassis so different that it makes that much of a difference? They're roughly the same weight, width, length and height. Theres stiffness, but is mine worse because it's stiffer - then why do people add bits to make the cars stiffer.
Personally I think its nothing like an apple tasting different to a mars bar, but thats for your well thought out, informed answer
Theres far too many factors that make them different there totally different cars like the wheel base length its width (roughly the same could make a massive differece to the way it handles lol) its centre of gravity there is proberly a list as long as my arm
