@Stan Galat Absolutely no insult taken. I was just giving a different perspective. Most folks who seem to be buying these cars are not coming close to pushing them to their limits. You are correct regarding the originals being unibody versus what I called pan based. I have owned and driven builds from all the key builders and while there are certainly differences I do not think most 356 Replica buyers would ever notice a substantial difference in ride quality. True regarding the footwell configuration as well as you point out but I have also experienced some frame based cars that have the seat pans sitting up higher causing 6ft + drivers to eat more bugs than desired.

I Enjoy the informative discussion. Thanks
