OK here is a question why can't we use the GT's bar? Does the V-6 sit higher, seems to me that bar is real close....I love the bar and the engine cover....both are future MODs for me after GT bars...
When you say bar, I assume you mean the strut tower brace? The V6 intake plenum is much taller than the GT's intake plenum and braces for the GT do not clear the V6 intake plenum. Some of the brands made for the V6 rub on the underside of the hood insulation. BMR avoids this by having it run around the front of the plenum. I have a plenum cover and planned on buying the BMR brace and cutting down or cutting off the small front extension on the plenum cover. Since then Shelby has stated they are coming out with one in the future and I want to check it out first before I buy any strut tower brace.

Bad link on the Granatelli part above, correct link is: http://www.granatellimotorsports.com...strutbrace.htm

I looked at the Granatelli parts but I am dubious about it clearing a V6 plenum without washers or some kind of spacers. All the pictures on the site show it mounted on a GT. I would insist on seeing it on a V6 before I would buy one.
