    i think the answer everyone is saying is that it has to be custom made...using the GT500 sturt brace with custom work i hear works but i have never seen any pictiures or heard exactly what needs to be done...

    When I was talking to the Saleen guy last year he told me that the car doesn't need one. He said they don't even run one on the Saleen/Speedlab race car. Not saying it won't make a difference, I'm just relaying what I was told face to face. It seems that if it did make that much difference Roush would have one by now....maybe.

    Man, that's like saying "I got my Roush in a secret, one time offered color", and then walking off.

    I've got a slightly modified GT500 STB on my 5XR. Just needed to be bent slightly, and then repowdercoated.

    VMIRoush can you feel any difference with the brace? Looks great by the way! Thanks for the visual.

    I can't really say for sure how much difference it provides. It was the first add on to the car at around 200 miles. Since then I've added the TrakPak suspension, and BMR adjustable panhard bar, and subframe connectors, and it now rides like its on proverbial rails. I ran the car three weeks ago at VIR, first time doing an HPDE event. When I finally started to put each individual turn together, and started to actually run a good line she held her own against almost everything that was running (exceptions being a 2012 Z06, and a Ferarri Race car). Weighing in at just under 3900lbs she's a portly girl, but certainly carries herself well. I would recommend the STB, it only cost me about $250.
