    What was GRT's thought behind the floated X? Is this supposed to tighten?/loosen?/what does it do to the car? ~Thanks~

      The more the car flexes to a point, the bigger the sweet spot. It won't be the fastest car but it will be very consistant. Rayburn is a good example. Look at Rocket and some others. They have to sell chassis. The way to do that is to have the car work well with any bone head behind the wheel.

        I have just bought a 05 GRT that has the floating X. I have not heard of this, what was GRT's purpose for doing this?

        ~Thanks~

        u may want to call GRT and have them check the car number....they only did the floating x on cars from 97-99 and very few cars in 2000...thats straight from joe garrisons mouth

            Look at the x to the left of where u set in the car and where it connects to the chassis it will be welded to a clamp and not just welded directly up

                  Will some one take a pic of the bar running from the middle of the X up to the square tube you mount your 5th coil to and post them somewhere so I can see what they look like, my friend noticed something about mine and I wanna see if there is anymore like mine or if it's just where mine was a house car. Thanks

                        i will say again...call grt with the car number is ur best bet...we were looking at an "03" w a floating x a few years back didnt know much about a floating x...so i called joe at grt...and his qoute was they were something he tried between 97-00...didnt pan out so they quit doing it...and for the record that "03" ended up being a 98 w 03 updates
