SFC's, In Floors, Cage, reinforcing torque boxes, jacking rails with braces between them and sfc's, etc... It all depends on how far do you want to go. What is your setup now? Any chassis stiffening now? Convertable or hartop, etc...

Also was the "twisted frame" measured on a frame machine?

That's a good question 92 stang.

A great way to protect your frame is to run radial tires. They'll break free and protect the frame from twisting like a pretzel. At least that's the justification I use.
