Maybe you should set Frankenstang up for roll racing?
Seriously, though, I think the idea is geting distorted. Every forum take a junkyard build and see who can do what. Its not about who can spend the most money making their car fast, its about who can make the fastest shitbox. And, sadly, I don't see much of anything standing up to a Mustang, for the simple reason that there are a plethora of Stang parts sitting around for free that can make one helluva fast car. Still, I'd love to see it, maybe ya'll Honda guys can scrape up an old tired out b16a, do a cheap headswap, and put a shitload of boost on it...can those things handle a shitload of boost?
If you want a Shitbox build, DSMs IMO are the best...They can handle 500hp or more on stock internals and the block is strong as shit and can handle the boost....You can pick up an AWD Body and chasis for cheap if you know where to look, and If you get the motor, clean it up, and BOOST, BOOST, BOOST THE SHIT OUT OF IT....
