Default Engine Bay Cross Bar?

I see the ZL1 and Boss 302s both have the engine compartment cross bars. Any real need / benefit for C6's?

are you talking about a strut tower brace? those cars utilize a completely differnet type of suspension. and they are a unibody which means they dont have a solid frame from nose to tail the floor pan and roof actually hold car together. no there is no need or use for a strut tower brace on a corvette. that brace ties the tops of the struts (shocks) together. a macpherson strut suspension dosnt not use upper a arms

None - or it would be there.

Far stronger frame and structural integrity with the Vette.

Corvettes don't flex.
