How come no subframe connectors?
Why aren't there subframe connectors for vettes?
Or do I just not see any?
Is it because subframe connectors aren't required on a full frame vehicle?
If thats the case then is there any chassis stiffening that can be done?

Because the vette has a full frame. The body panels unscrew to expose the frame.

Back on subject, I recently gave a 300 mile long ride to another member who has the identical car to mine in the UK. Even thought we both have the same suspension, miles, tires and even tire wear, he said that mine felt much more firm. The only difference is that I have a 1/4 aluminum tunnel plate.
