It's like a catch can, you "have" to do it!

Are they the same as the GT halfshafts?

Can't hurt to do one at 500 or 1,000

Source? Never heard of this before

Ford perviously sold the same suspension package for either the GT or Eco https://performanceparts.ford.com/part/M-FR3A-M8A

Probably has a roll cage too. He said "all the Road race competition cars have them" But the point was the strut tower brace doesn't make the vert > the coupe

Nobody has still answered why there isn't one on the Dark Horse R. And what about this Mustang GT4 $250k race car?

It's the stamped piece above the IRS in this picture. It bolts into the cars body. The aftermarket makes stiffer bushing and braces to tie it into the body better.

@MAT1955 What BMR had to say about those braces (which rust out like yours did and most people ended up just throwing them in the trash so they didn't have to take them off to work on the rear of the car): I do not have the engineering or "scientific" data to back up my thoughts on this. But...

So why doesn't the Dark Horse R have a strut brace? companies like Vorschlag have said there is no measurable improvement in track times from a strut tower brace.

Strut tower braces don't do shit, especially stiffen a convertible up to coupe levels... tires/alignment/imagination is where I would start but it's kind of pointless if you don't have any recorded numbers for each car (skid pad, slalom, etc)

Not when a Plaid is two seconds faster and only like $20k (?) more

Better for bad weather and cheaper tires 255/40

I'd check with a vendor but whatever you can find that's 19x9

Change the tire size a bit and keep looking 285/35ZR19 FALKEN AZENIS FK460 A/S Continental DWS06 Easier to just buy another set of wheels, though.

Nominate this for the wall of shame!

Didn't they say the vmp car got an oil temp overheat warning on the dyno?

I like how they call it apples to apples but they have the stock exhaust on the Roush car and headers etc on the Whipple car... Put longtubes on the Roush and drop a pulley size or two (to keep the boost the same) and run it again...

You're going to want e85 and a Cobra Jet intake to hit (or come close to) 500whp

Looks like blue smoke in the picture. Time to take it to the dealer
