Interesting...

Good thing they designed/fabricated an entirely new suspension setup, or that thing would be a Death Trap with all that power!

Damn I always wanted to do this. have a bone stock looking Model T or A with massive chassis/suspension upgrades and a Z06 engine. Of course the rear tires will have to be wider but try to keep upgrades on the down low.

Exmaple above is very nice!!!
