    Just like what the other chassis builders are doing. Playing with the front ends to tighten the cars up in the slick. They have also changed the offset of the rear end i do believe

      Guys just for the sake of it lets say on any chassis that has a bigger sweet spot and does not respond to changes(you change the car and cant feel the change)most of the time the cars are flexing to much,now if its stiffer,two things youll see,the car will last longer and when you make a change if its the wrong way the car simply wont like it(thats why a lot of people sell there cars after 30 races or so they start to loose drive from flexing to much,unless you know where to brace them up at) also if i was a race car manufacturer i wouldnt want the car to last forever id work myself out of a job,thats why some chassis are alot more $$$ than others,plus i want my suspension to do the work and not depend on chassis flex,youll have alot more consistant car(if the cars great it will stay that way every lap or if its bad it will be bad every lap and not change)and ill also bet that on a slick track it will seem like you can never get the car tight enough
      THAT IS IF ITS FLEXING

        I can say i never driven a masterbilt spent most of my years in Swartz chassis and i can honestly say i perfered the last square tube car i had. It did respond to changes i knew exactly what my car was going to do with every little or big change. Now on the round tube cars it seemed like i always had to make big changes to make the car react. I personally would take a square tube car over round tube anyday.
