What would be the average amount of power and or torque that would raise concern for permanent body damage such as warping the chassis?

And what could one do to prevent such damage?

ya mainly just RWD cars like ^he said..



like older camaros and shit have 2 piece frames that will start to twist.

when they say the frame is "tied" it means they've reinforced the weak spot

the thing to watch for on our cars is rear subframe tear out due to a thick sway bar. A subframe brace will help prevent this, such as the ASR :thumb:
