Nice, but does the car really need it? Any track guys added it yet? Plus, did GM not put it on the car because of the weight diet? My car handles great, this is another test for my car in the future. Bolt it on and see if there is by difference.
The cost is not high, $195 seems reasonable.

Interesting that GM released a STB for the 6th gen. When I went to the Find New Roads tour last year; the GM engineers were pretty emphatic the 6th gen didn't need one because of the increase chassis stiffness and pointed out the standard bracing was more than adequate.

Pic from a convertible. I assume the same one

The convertible will need it. The coupe with the stiffer body won't unless you are serious about tracking.

Probably an unnecessary addon. I'd only get it to enhance the look of the engine bay. Of course it would be nice if it came in red or other colors. Is it grey or black? Anyone know?

Some of the track guys on Camaro5 actually removed theirs. The claim that the chassis is so stiff that the strut brace isn't needed. I have no actual knowledge of this, just what I've read.

We will be releasing our strut tower brace very soon. It will be available in red or black hammertone. The price isn't set yet, but it will be well under $150. It is a 100% bolt-on parts. super easy and super effective!

If you need a daily driven tester for anything, let me know. I'm just 1.9 miles door-to-door. =)

p.s. I have magnetic ride control, though.

Awesome, any idea with the ETA?

In the past, almost all my cars had one.. Combined with stiffer, lowering springs and good tires, it really helps with hard cornering.

We have been testing prototypes and adjusting the jig to get it just right! We should be back on it this week. If nothing big needs to be changed we should hopefully have it out in a week or two.

I will post it up as soon as it's available. If there is a lot of interest I might be able to put a presale together.
