If Shelby doesn’t think a brace is needed on their supercharged 810hp cars, why do it ?

But, it does look cool when you open the hood. I still want one.

Means a hellva lot more than yours.
Like ford said...Shelby doesn't race

They aren't doing any testing or racing

But strut tower braces don't improve your track times on these cars. It's a feel better mod.

“and the convertible also features the same lightweight magnesium tower-to-tower brace in the engine bay.”

“The Dark Horse SC convertible is based on the Mustang GT convertible, and Ford claims the body structure was already rigid enough that it didn’t need to add any additional bracing. “….
