times dont matter its how much stress you will be putting on it launching it drag racing. 650hp isnt a slouch


That's a good point but its a old school g body the frame should be pretty stout

they all are until they twist

its still almost 30 years old and youre putting 650hp to it. if he wasnt going to drag race it then it would probably be a different story

yeah thats true 30 yeas in a long time. hell im worried about mine when i launch it and its from 94 lol. at 650 hp though it should be in the low 10 range imo if set up right which means its going to have a cage in it anyways most likely

the frame was done as a body off resto in 2002 so I have no doubts about the frame being in good condition, it will be braced and have a cage b4 it goes down the track

Like i said at the moment its a street car with stip potential :)

it makes 450 on motor witch is plenty for spankin civics and just about any "street" car in town

Except anything with a slightly modded lsx, any c5 or newer corvette with exhaust, or a 2011+ mustang. Or an 03/04 cobra.
