2000 HP does not exist inside something that is not designed specifically to take 2000 HP. The scariest car I have ever been in made 1200 HP or so, and had not only the original GM subframes in it, but they were tied together with a massive chrome moly roll cage. 1969 Chevrolet Nova, 540 CI engine with a pile of nitrous on top. It ran 8:96 @ 155 MPH at the dragstrip. My buddy let it rip with me in the passenger seat at a stop light one night, and man I swear I had to call in sick to work the next day, it was that scary. Regardless of the body on the outside of the car, ANYTHING that makes 2000 HP is not the same car it came from the factory as, it's a body shell with a fortune's worth of engineering and custom fabrication under it holding it together.
