Were the few 916's equipped with the GT stiffening kit?
Other than the obvious rigid roof, were there any chassis stiffening improvement to handle the larger powertrain/gearbox? |

These chassis mods (meant to stiffen) are great, but will the added stresses be sent to another location? and will these areas need additional reinforcement?
From what I can tell most of this work is a function of the forces added, wide tires, increased HP, ... I do not have any answers, just questions today |
