I will say PRL actually did appear to do some engineering and analysis on the strut bar. See below thread. It was enough to make it worth me ordering it. Again, it certainly won't hurt anything and will add 'some' rigidity...
It can't hurt anything, but unlikely to dramatically increase torsional rigidity. I am waiting on my throw-back strut bar from PRL. Going on 5 weeks now and they indicated 4-6 week wait. If it goes past 6, I'm going to cancel the order and survive without a strut bar. :D
It is a great car. I love driving it every time I get behind the wheel. I have a nice work truck I use during most of the week, so it's nice to slide into the ITS Friday afternoon and enjoy it all weekend while shuffling a few other cars I have.
I've had and still own quite a few cars. I drove my new ITS back to back with my 5 Blackwing six-speed yesterday and just love how nimble, light, and small (while still having great interior room and cargo storage) the ITS is. It just feels like a finely honed and refined machine.
The pluses...
Sucks man. Hope you get it soon, either the original or replacement. Thinking some FedEx warehouse chump stole it as you think too. Anyway, you will love it when you finally get it. Makes every acceleration an event with the turbo spool and whoosh on each shift or lift of the throttle.
Wife uses it with her Tesla Model Y. I just use the phone app. It is less convenient, but not a big deal.
I read some dude set-up a short cut or something on his iphone, so he could do a siri command to open race portal or whatever you want to say and it automatically opens the garage...
Just tone it down that last few minutes of your drive and you are fine. If you NEED to flog it right into your driveway, then it probably wouldn’t hurt to let it idle for a minute or so.
That does suck and is annoying. Sorry your experience hasn’t been good like mine. I will say my package showed delayed with no update right before it showed at my house so there is still hope it may show soon! Fingers crossed.
It's probably a regional issue then with Newark and some other sh*thole areas in that part of the country and people there that don't do their job at all. :D :D
Again, I ordered from Taiwan on Tuesday and it was sitting on my doorstep in Dallas, TX area at 1pm on Friday. So, FedEx kicked a**...
Here's my 992 GTS bone stock accel video I did a while back:
Ain't no ITS going to do that kind of acceleration anytime soon. That said, I just love driving the ITS. It hits such a sweet spot for comfort, fun, sound, acceleration, braking, handling, good rear seat room, etc. I think I'm...
I just ordered from here for $125 with free shipping and no tax to TX. Hope I didn't get ripped. King seems to be legit:

Your link was $180+ shipped. Again, hope I didn't get scammed. haha.
