I beg to differ. The GT3 Cup Car does indeed use a strut tower brace. That's exactly what I posted a diagram of. If you look at Loren's post at Renntech that I provided a link to he explains how the Cup Cars use the same brace as what we've got stock in our cars. 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.
