I thought the same thing at first, but then saw it say "a quality ride guaranteed" and thought it must be a supension item. But that makes no sense either.

Might want to make it a little more clear what we are talking about here.

Try using a bigger font and smaller words.

Sorry Guys. Figured you were ex C-5 owners and followed the Parts for Sale section there. The BackBone2 is the C-6 Version of the torque Tube Tunnel Chassis Stiffener. It is like the C-5 Version pictured at www.vettesnmore.com It improves the already nice ride we have on these cars. 1/8th inch Stainless Steel instead of the 1/8th inch aluminum stock plate. You will enjoy a stiffer ride and better drivability. Check out the web page. Corvette Garge is right below TTP and above Davinci in the Vendor banner side bar. Sorry Mark

I just put Mark's Backbone on my 2004 c-5 vert, and it really makes a difference, especially as a convertible. I live in Connecticut and the roads aren't the best. The car is much more "composed" when it gets rough, and there is much less cowl shake and bounce. This is a very good mod.

I had the Backbone installed on my C6 and could tell a noticable difference in the way the car performed during hard acceleration. Less torque twist and the car seems to track better when cornering hard.
