I have watched a few car building shows. They are frequently doing things, usually via bolt ons, to make these vehicles perform in a manner they were never designed to perform.

Most of the guys do the entire powerline front to back, so they do not blow thinks apart but the overall frame and body designs remain unaltered. When you put some ridiculously powered engine in a vehicle that was never meant to go faster than 70mph and sometimes less, you get all kinds of interesting failures. This is just one of them.

If they race it on the track the orignal frames need rollcages and extra support welded in to pass inspection.The faster the car the more rollcage supports
