[QUOTE="BigPoppa, post: 16227275, member: 177587"] Having done a few 1st gens for clients and friends, they are still a great platform to build a ridiculously fast and great handling car..... You just won't do it with anything stock on one. 400hp in one is overkill. You have to tub the body to fit wide enough tires to handle just that power because you can't fit decent width tires under it without doing so. The engine bay will be tight. Putting a big block in one usually means using an engine hoist anytime plugs need changing. You will pull your hair out if you don't Dynamat the entire thing. They are a great platform to start with, though, since they are so light and have plenty of parts available. [/QUOTE]
