I'll go with the F-5 / Twister built by Wayne Simmons, who is also the defending USAC champions car builder. Maybe I am prejudice as we have 3 of his cars, but it is the best non-wing car I have ever drove.

DRC makes a good 5 bar chassis. Stanbrough and Team Foxco have been kicking ass with one for the last three years in Ind. and Tony Jones became a winner again out West with one before retiring.
Maxim makes a great chassis 4 or 5 bar.

Thats a great topic, Daron.
My first reaction is that there is a massive amount of different nonwing chassis running & winning across the country. I also think that a top team would win with whatever chassis you put together for them.
DRC, Bullet, Viper, F5... they seem pretty solid and win some races.
Maxim of any type... with a good team they do well non-wing whatever version you prefer. Hagen at Manzy, Little Swindell, Dave Darland come to mind.
Was Maxim the best winged car when Steve Kinser or Mark Kinser won everything in sight with them? Debatable... I think they would have won in whatever chassis you gave them for free.

I would agree with some guy in texas. I beleive most chassis have about the same bar heights and pick up points and have had for many many yrs. Is the car is squared and the bolt on parts are good all the chassis is is a place to hang parts. the front axle does not know the lower frame rail is bent a little if the axle is se t correctly to the rear and the motor plate. I spoke to a well known chassis builder a while back and he said they are basiclly running the same set ups they ran in the 80,s except much lighter parts, the bottom line is the frame is a place to hang parts.
