The additional bar that I added just reinforces and stiffens the strut tower brace already in our cars and the Cup Cars.

But is the GT3 Cup Car really the ultimate in racing? The Porsche GT3RS race cars do have an additional strut tower brace... factory from Porsche. So I'm imagining that there is indeed some room for improvement here if Porsche also increased the stiffness on the GT3RS racer. But I agree this probably would only apply at 10/10ths.

Kirk here is a friend of mines GT3 Cup he just traded in for a 993TT "S". He raced it in the IMSA series. In addition to that the guy that works on my car built the GT3 Cup that took 6th at 24Hrs @ Daytona.

Edit: Did not intend to sound like a prick but I just have seen this car as close as behind the wheel. I did not drive just started and rev'd I did however drive his GT3RS...GAWD that was/is a sweet car!
