Looking for a Banks chassis for additional strength. Does anyone have a project car/ roller/ Banks chassis/ running gear for sale. Jack 703-474-6490

gideon:
Is a Spyder frame not strong enough for you?  I'm just curious. 

surypap3:
That's a good question. First the spider frame .... is that what they call the OEM Europa frame? Secondly, I just assumed if you were to put say 250 hp back there that it may be too much for the OEM frame. Totally willing to be educated on this. What are your thoughts? Thank you!

Kendo:
Spider (Spyder?) is a separate company that makes a much better frame than OEM.

From the rear firewall forward on mine is stock frame. 450hp and at least 350 tq. I beat on it and autocross it with wide soft tires. No problems yet. I know the Tee area in the front can crack and I'm sure mine will.

It's not the HP but torque that kills things.
