so correct me if I'm wrong, but it looks like the bottom bar is separated from the top triangle piece? Is that a good thing? Something tells me its not but I'm not a handling expert.. anyone care to chime in on that?

it does not matter.... it just means the lower bar, cannot transfer its loads to the rest of the structure, so its always in compression and is prone to bending... but the loads will never be there for that to occur....

Personally i would tie it in... I like the two main bar idea... but tied together like a "k" truss would be good. Or bowing the bottom bar so that it is pre loaded and transfers energy to the top "triangle" structure.

Either way... again the loads will never deform this thing... unless you decide to drive off the damn empire state building.

Thanks guys. I'd expect the price to be high, so I'm trying to hint that to Top Secret with the hopes that they'll keep it cheap. Keeping my fingers crossed... just hoping it doesn't cross into the quad digits.

I'm partial to the Zele too. This one seems like it has a lot going on.
It's still not in production yet though so consider this a prototype. I'd like to see all the bolts out of there, or a cleaner attachment alternative.

Baker has one on one of the cars, it debuted at the DUB show in Houston 3 weeks ago.

PS Amuse doesnt make a tower bar, only a harness bar
