Question Roadster Frame/Body Handle TT?

I've seen a couple of ZR's with TT kits. Wanted to know if it's necessary to do any modifications to frame/body to keep it from twisting. Can the stock ZR frame handle it without mods?

Of course, bracing isn't going to hurt you, but I've yet to see anything saying that frame integrity is a major concern.

Same as the coupe without the top? Roadster is a little heavy... However no issue going FI.

your tires or axles will break loose before the frame.

Dom: "So much torque, the chassis twisted coming off the line."

You can improve the handling characteristics by stiffening the chassis but it's not going to twist from the torque of the motor.
