Default Torque Brace- Who would want one?

By a show of hands who would be interested or even thinks this is a viable modification for their Z? The RX7 guys use these to supposely reduce engine torque feedback to the driver along with reducing shifter feedback.

They can be either rigid mount or with dampers.

Neither...the inside contains a high strength plastic. I will disassemble one tonight and snap some pics when I get home.

The way I have it mounted, you have to enlarge an existing hole on the hood sensor bracket.

Driveability is the same, car does feel more stable when I'm flooring it. Since I have a 5AT, I don't "feel" it as much as a 6MT. But my friend w/ a 6MT does notice a good difference when shifting. No track days w/ the torque damper in place yet.
