The Miata brace creates a box section by enclosing the bottom of the tranny tunnel. It become somewhat like the old Lotus Elan which has a "backbone".
Adding an x-brace to the bottom of our cars will do very little. |

We have an actual enclosed tunnel whereas the others have an opened-bottom tunnel so ours is naturally stiffer. |
