Awww shit, why not just slap a GT45xxR on my 109 cid schnitzle-burner...
But seriously, as I'm trying to develop a feasible build plan for a high powered (and by my def of that, I am talking more power to the ground than the car can actually use) FUN to drive street brawler/occasional track/occasional strip Daily -get-my-ass-to-work& the grocery store kind of car
I know there are (and have been) more than a few who have made 550-600-700 and more on the B5 platform... My QUESTION is: at what point does reliability become compromised/questionable?
I have spent plenty of time in, under and about mine, and can deduct from my own 18+ years' mechanical experience, that this is a robust little car that should hold up well to modifications and subsequent beatings. What I'd like to know is at what level/power/situation do we expect to start twisting axles, grenading transmissions/diffs, damaging structural integrity of the chassis, -things of this nature???
I am planning on 450-500 AWHP, and while I treat all my built cars with respect and care, I drive the piss out of 'em nonetheless. -I am not one of these guys who builds his car for bragging rights or a sense of accomplishment, Rather I build 'em to drive hard and fast, all the time
Should I rethink my plans? or is there enough car here to treat it like a DSM/EVO?
