While it *might* help a Roadster (or any other body-on-frame vehicle) a
bit, especially if it is injected into the frame, its real value is in
unibody cars, where the body *is* the frame. MG tested this stuff (or at
least something very much like it) in a MGB based Safety Concept car
about 25-30 years ago and reported a major increase in structural
rigidity of the MGB concept car vs a stock chassis. I tried several
times to find a supplier of this stuff over the intervening years and
was also very interested to read the article you refer to. I too await
its release to the general public as it is just what my 280ZX turbo
needs (or any hard driven Z or 510 for that matter). But I doubt it will
do much for a Roadster.
