"Butterfly" underbody brace
I read about a new underbody brace for Miatas and it made me wonder if something similar would provide any additional stiffness to the chassis on our C3's?
Without a doubt it wouldn't work miracles but maybe the benefits would be worth the effort.

When they started making C4 convertibles GM made a similar brace. I suppose the Miata and certainly the C4 do not have full frames. Not sure that would help the flex in a full framed C3 but it's an interesting idea.
