A 1 piece DS will react quicker no slop like a 2 piece, also reducing rotating weight helps also

Ty DD... Do you think this would be as beneficial on road courses as it is for the straight line stuff? Like I said originally, I would think it falls probably in the same class as the UDP as far as noticing gains? And is 3x as costly. But with the Vert I'm looking for any edge to counter the weight and downfalls of not having a more appropriate track car!

Durability, 1000 bucks for a few pounds... diet works..

I will say that a CF driveshaft does not untwist as fast and this can help.

To Dapper, I do think the center bearing support leaves a lot to be desired and would like to see 4 rubber support ribs between collar and central bearing.
