See my car doesn't make 1 gajillion ft/lbs of torque so I don't really have issues with the chassis twisting up like a pretzel and causing t top leaks.

I have a hardtop, makes the roof look sexy and smoother, but I wish it had t-tops :c t-tops are awesome esp for us slow people like Alex said with not even enough power to break the tires lose nevermind twisting the chassis.

My car will still blow the tires off way too easily, that's why I switched to drag radials. But even dead hooking on the DRs I still don't think it's enough power to hurt the chassis. SFCs are probably a good idea though, regardless of power level.

Really? Never thought of that, I solved most of the creak problems by swapping to the LS1 center console so its not rubbin against the dash all the time.
