Under power the floating top plate as shown would have little affect as the weight transfer to the rear since it would be like pulling on a rope - very little give.

I wait to be enlightened
As I remember it, this mod allowed more torsional flex at the back of the car. Win the screws in, the rear of the chassis is much stiffer.
