You build a whole new chassis. Or you can subframe the front and rear, run subframe connectors, and rollcage it, which is pretty much building a chassis.

I've seen cars that weren't built for the power installed in them, and lemme tell ya, it aint pretty.

I've seen a few Camaros and Firebirds at the track running big power, nice sticky rear tires, and no subframe connectors pop off their t-tops during their launch down the track.

yeah, you can tell its all tubbed out in the back. Look how freakin wide the tires are and from that front angle it still looks like the rear wheels need spacers cuz their sunk behind the fenders. The pipes look kinda stupid but you figure the car is so narrow and with the tires coming so far in towards the middle of the car, thats about as far as you can separate em...That thing has to be CRAZY fast.

It's giving me ideas for what to do with my Satty when I retire it in a year and a half.
