Default 2 quick questions!

so first of all, what does a "vibrant strut tower bar" do? i've seen a number of people put these on their engines, but what does it even do??

secondly, sorry if this is a stupid question, try not to grind on me too hard, but what's so great about "Mopar"? I've seen forum signatures that say "mopar or no car" or something. they just sell engine parts, right? is it just a company? like AEM?

Strut tower brace/bar: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strut_bar
Cliff notes: It helps stiffen the car up and make it handle better. They are put on the strut/shock towers, not the engine.

Mopar = Dodge. It's a fancy way of saying Dodge or nothing, but that rhymes. "Mopar or no car"

-And the fact that some of us older guys here had the good Mopars when we started driving. My first car was a '74 Plymouth RoadRunner. Now THAT was a car. Not some ricer, Honda Civic! Not my car, and mine was gold, but this is what she looked like. And after that, I had a 1970 AMC Javelin SST. Looked just like this one but it was red with the black stripes. Mine had the 390 Go-Pak. Not an actual Mopar, but a cousin.





L8R,
Matt

If you drive/race the twisty/curveys, putting a STB in the back isn't a bad idea either.
