This thread = SIGH.
People are making it seem that stitch welding the chassis is going to make it 100% rigid and that you will die IMMEDIATELY upon impact. I don't think that's going to happen. In that case, why stiffen up the car at all, even if it's a DD? Take off your fender braces and tower braces and lower arm bars, then.
For some reason, people are confusing the structural integrity of stitch welding to be near that of a proper cage, but really, it's pretty marginal.
I think it's funny, though, that some of the people who get worried about the "safety" of stuff like that have cars with aftermarket steering wheels and buckets, and run stock brakes and bald all-seasons with 350+hp motors... get serious.
