About single piece aluminum body..Could you imagine a chassis made of a single piece aluminum block? Ofcourse, monocoque is a way to do it but imagining a giant aluminum block and cnc it inside out, that is a wacky idea! The sort of things rich ppl should burn their money with just for fun.

There are already cars made with the Apple mentality. They're called BMW's, Audi's, and Mini Cooper's.

After all that work, they still have rod ends in bending... I know if they're spec'd big enough, but still, I thought this was a no-compromise car?

About their hoses. Using swivel connectors is that big deal?

Is it something we could benefit from in FSAE?
