Just test drive it and try to go to wide open throttle from a dead stop and you’ll see what I mean.

That 1000 HP beast needs a well designed and built chassis and a little more weight wrapped around it with a roll cage.

But it is your decision to make. I only provide my opinion here as I made my living in the racing and hi performance industry for 32 years and have built and raced several vehicles over the years.

Good luck with it either way.
Maybe you missed the photo I posted above of the Model T. The only thing left is the body, rest of the car is modernized. Wheelbase stretched, much lower COG, all new frame etc. If I buy I won't be putting hellcrate in it, it would cost more than the car.
