You mean that thing in the picture? That piece of superstructure from the Golden Gate Bridge?

BTW, as far as the boss LS "needing" the X-brace in question and the 1LE not "needing" it... well, lets just say that there are some very smart people with very capable S197 track/race cars that certainly don't have an X-brace in the rear. if that X-brace was actually worth anything more than looking badass( ), kenny brown, griggs racing, agent 47, etc. would all be offering their own version of it and would be using it on their record setting race cars.

Uh, Ry, they do. It's called a roll cage, and includes reinforcement SPECIFICALLY for rear floor strengthening, so the flexi-flyer
doesn't.
